SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities have arrested two suspects including a teen in connection with an aggravated assault with a firearm that occurred at a home in Garden Plain.
Just before 10 p.m., deputies and the Garden Plain Police Department responded to reports of shots fired into an occupied home in the 300 block of West Lavern Lane, according to Sedgwick County Sheriff's office spokesman Branden Stitt.
The Garden Plain Police Department requested the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office take over the investigation.
Four people were inside the home at the time of the shooting. No one was struck by gunfire, and no injuries were reported.
Detectives believe one of the victims, who was also the intended target, was involved in a drug transaction with the suspects that involved the use of counterfeit currency. Detectives believe the suspects then followed the victim back to his home and fired shots into the occupied house.
The investigation continued into the early morning hours of Saturday, Feb. 7, when deputies, detectives and forensic investigators identified and arrested the suspects. Detectives booked 20-year-old Cristian Yair Garcia and a 16-year-old male juvenile, both of Cheney, on charges of criminal discharge of a firearm into an occupied dwelling.
The case will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office.
