Officers responded at around 7 p.m. to a shooting in Planeview. They arrived to find Chance Martin who had suffered a gunshot wound to his upper body. He died at a local hospital.

Wichita Police Department spokesperson Kristopher Gupilan said the investigation revealed Lara and another person had an altercation with Martin, "which led to Lara brandishing a gun and shooting Martin."

Witnesses on scene gave police information on Lara's vehicle, which was found near 47th Street South and Seneca. Lara was arrested a short time later.

"This investigation would not have been solved so quickly without the help of the citizens on scene, and the outstanding work by investigators, patrol officers, and our Community Response Teams," Officer Gupilan said in a release.
