by Shane Farley, Newscow.net – One man was killed and another was critically injured in a shooting that occurred in a Winfield neighborhood late Monday.

Police were first called to a residence at 610 E. Third around 9 p.m. for the report of a shooting and stabbing. A black male died at the scene after extensive life-saving efforts failed, Chief Danny Parker said.

The deceased man was reported to have suffered a gunshot wound to the head.

Initial reports of a stabbing were made because the critically injured man, who was flown to Wichita by air ambulance for treatment, received a gunshot wound to the throat that first appeared to be a stab wound.

A suspect fled on foot immediately after the shooting and police, aided by a K9 unit, were scouring a nearby wooded area and dike. He was still at large early Tuesday and described as a white male, in a black hoodie, cargo pants and roughly 5-feet-7-inches tall.

No names have been made public, thus far.

A neighbor told NewsCow they heard the shots fired.

Chief Parker said late Monday night that an investigation was in its very early stages and that the KBI was expected to arrive with their mobile crime lab to process the scene. Police were in the process of acquiring a search warrant for the house.

The residence is near the corner of Third and Lincoln.

This is the second homicide investigation for Winfield Police this year.

Winfield Police are the scene of what is described as a stabbing and shooting that occurred in the 600 block of E. Third tonight.

Two people are said to have sustained critical injuries as a result of the incident. One person was not breathing at the scene.

Police are looking for a suspect in the area of the residence. That person fled the scene.

Eagle Med is en route to Winfield to transport one of the victims to a Wichita hospital.
