SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities investigating a fatal weekend shooting were able to quickly take two suspects in custody by using information they received from a unique camera security system.
Just after 1:30a.m. Sunday, police working part-time in the Old Town area of Wichita heard several gunshots just north of 126 N. Mosely, according to Office Chad Ditch. Moments later they heard gunshots near 100 N. Washington.
Officers ran in the direction of the second round of shots and found 22-year-old Deandre Greenley, of Wichita unconscious and not breathing. He had several gunshot wounds to his upper body, according to Ditch.
First responders provided lifesaving efforts. EMS pronounced Greenley deceased on the scene.
Investigators learned that suspects 21-year-old Christopher Dyas and 24-year-old Saquorea Sweeney, both of Wichita arrived in a black 2008 Ford Edge. They then walked right up to Greenley, shot him several times striking him in the upper body and fled the scene.
Officers quickly determined the suspect vehicle from witnesses, cameras in Old Town and by utilizing FLOCK, according to Ditch. The FLOCK system is designed to capture sight, sound and situations, which give police objective evidence needed to investigate and solve crime, according to the company web site. The FLOCK system captures the license plate and state details of every car that drives by, day or night.
A short time later, police took both Sweeney and Dyas into custody in different areas of town without incident. These suspects would not have been captured so quickly without the information provided on the scene, and the hard work of all the Officers and Supervisors on the scene, according to Ditch.
Dyas and Sweeney are being held on requested charges of 1st Degree murder.
