Wichita News Flash

Wichita News Flash Independent. Unfiltered. A few people keeping Wichita informed in our spare time. We kindly ask that you refrain from sending related content.

Weโ€™re a small, independent news outlet that delivers transparent coverage of events in & around Wichita. Originally known as Wichita News Network, we were founded in 2022 out of frustration with local mainstream media constantly overlooking crimes we knew were happening- things we believed the public should know about.

09/20/2025

18-year-old Zachariah Ramone Howard was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail early this morning on suspicion of Abuse of a Child. The allegation involves reckless great bodily harm, abusive head trauma, or permanent disability/disfigurement. He was also booked on suspicion of First Degree Murder in the commission of a felony, which accuses him of causing the childโ€™s death during the alleged abuse. The case stems from a Thursday morning call where a 3-week-old infant was found not breathing at a south Wichita apartment. We have confirmed that Zachariah was the infant's father.
โ€Ž
Weโ€™ve reached out to WPD for more information & are awaiting their response.

Here's what we heard on the scanner audio:
