WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Police have arrested an 18-year-old man in the shooting death earlier this week of an employee at an AutoZone store in southeast Wichita.
Lamontae Lucas, 18, of Wichita, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in the Sunday night shooting death of 40-year-old Nicholas Blue, police said.
Investigators believe Lucas shot Blue in an attempt to rob the store. Police have said that three employees were inside the business at the time of the shooting, but were in other areas of the building and were not injured.
Investigators honed in on Lucas after receiving tips from the public, police said.
