19-year-old man arrested in Wichita mass shooting; police expect more arrests – Yahoo News Canada

Published

on





A 19-year-old Wichita man has been arrested in connection to the July 2 mass shooting at City Nightz that left nine people wounded and two more with injuries from being trampled.
Police said Friday night that they arrested Ameir Jayshon King-Ingram on suspicion of two counts of aggravated battery and one count of criminal possession of a firearm by a felon. He was arrested in the 700 block of South Greenwood, records show.
“This investigation is still ongoing and (the Wichita Police Department) expects the efforts of investigators to identify additional shooters soon,” Wichita police spokesperson Juan Rebolledo said in a news release.
Police had previously arrested a man who was working as a security guard for the popular rapper Mozzy, who made an appearance at the club. He was released from jail on Thursday after Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said he would not file charges against the man at this time.
Bennett said, based on video surveillance, the man “appears to have acted in self-defense/defense of a third party” after two gunmen started shooting first.
It’s unclear if King-Ingram is one of those two gunmen. Video released to some media shows a male firing wildly in the club and shooting in all directions as he ran out.
Police did not provide any other details about King-Ingram’s arrest or involvement. King-Ingram is on Sedgwick County’s most wanted list, according to court records. When he appeared on the list in June 2022, he was wanted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated burglary, and two counts of failure to appear.
Wichita police chief Joseph Sullivan has suspended the club’s liquor and entertainment licenses. The 30-day suspension starts Saturday. The club’s attorney said they plan to appeal the suspension.

What time is Floyd Mayweather vs. John Gotti III today? Schedule, main card start time for 2023 exhibition boxing fight – Sporting News

Published

Floyd Mayweather once again steps inside the ring to compete in an exhibition fight. This time, he faces someone with legit combat sports experience and a last name nobody will ever forget. Mayweather faces John Gotti III, the grandson of infamous gangster John Gotti, on June 11.
The fight is inside the FLA Live Arena in Florida and airs on the Zeus Network. 
Gotti turned pro in 2017. Winning five in a row to start his MMA career, Gotti lost his last fight in 2020 against Nick Alley. The 30-year-old has since competed in boxing bouts, winning two contests in the past eight months.
Calling this fight a “pinch-me moment,” Gotti has nothing but respect for Mayweather. However, he will not let his fandom get in the way of what he needs to do.

“I’ve been following him since I was eight years old,” Gotti said via Boxing Scene. “This was my idol. This was a guy I did school projects on. It was a guy I looked up to. The fact that I’m in a position to stand across the ring from Floyd is a tremendous honor. But make no mistake, June 11, I’m bringing bad intentions to that man. I don’t care if it’s an exhibition or not. You signed to fight me, there’s no quarter. It’s kill or be killed.”
This is the latest exhibition for Mayweather, who retired in 2017 at 50-0. In 2018 he teamed with RIZIN and beat young kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa via TKO. Mayweather fought Logan Paul and former training partner Don Moore in non-scored bouts. He beat Mikuru Asakura and YouTuber Deji in 2022 via TKO. In February, Mayweather went the distance against MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers.
Here is all you need to know regarding Mayweather vs. Gotti, from the time, channel, and card.
Mayweather vs. Gotti begins at 6:30 p.m ET | 3:30 p.m. PT. Ringwalks are scheduled for 10 p.m. ET | 7 p.m. PT, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
