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.

We’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.

A recently released affidavit provides new details about a deadly shooting earlier this month at the American Legion in north Wichita.
‎

The affidavit states that around 7:35 PM on March 2nd, Sedgwick County 911 received a call from 40-year-old Tristan Miles reporting a shooting at American Legion Post 273 at 1335 N Hydraulic. He told dispatch he had just shot 56-year-old Darnell Guiden. According to news reports, Darnell worked at the Legion post.
‎
When officers arrived, Tristan waved an officer down & admitted he was the one who shot Darnell. He was then taken into custody.
‎

Officers located a pickup truck in the parking lot with its rear & passenger windows shot out & two bullet holes in the windshield. Darnell was found inside the truck with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso & arms. He was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7:57 PM. Investigators later determined he died from multiple gunshot wounds & ruled the death a homicide.

‎
‎
Surveillance cameras at the club captured the shooting & the moments leading up to it. The video shows Darnell walking out to his pickup truck & getting inside around 7:33 PM. About a minute later, Tristan walked into the parking lot with his hand inside his hoodie pocket & approached the driver’s side of the truck. As he passed it, Tristan pulled out a handgun & fired two shots into the truck.
‎
Tristan then walked toward the club's doors, but did not go inside. Moments later, he returned while Darnell was trying to close the door. Tristan opened the driver’s door & fired another shot as the truck began backing up.
‎
As the truck continued moving, Tristan fired two additional rounds into the windshield. He then walked to the passenger side, put the gun through the broken window, & fired more shots. The truck eventually rolled forward & stopped against a parking block.
‎

Officers later found a Ta**us 9mm handgun on the ground about 15 feet behind the truck, along with the magazine & a cartridge. Investigators also located seven shell casings around the truck & one casing inside it.
‎
‎
Witnesses at the American Legion told officers they knew Tristan & said he previously worked there but had been barred from the club until 2045 because of prior problems.
‎
‎

On March 5th, Tristan was charged with Intentional & Premeditated First Degree Murder, an alternative count of First Degree Murder in the Commission of a Felony & Criminal Discharge of a Firearm. An alternative charge allows prosecutors to pursue more than one legal theory for the same death.
‎
Tristan remains held on a $1 million bond. He is due back in court on April 23rd.
