Wichita Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man in connection with a double murder Friday night at the Dollar General store, located in the Providence Shopping Center near 13th Street North and Oliver. 

Marquis Marshall, 19, is wanted for two counts of murder.

"We consider him (Marshall) to be armed and dangerous," Wichita Police Lt. Scott Heimerman said Saturday.

Marshall is described as an African-American man, 5-feet-7-inches tall, about 150 pounds with a slender build.

The victims have been identified as 22-year-old Zackary Hunt, an employee of the store, and 79-year-old Henry Harvey, a customer. Heimerman said both men were killed inside the business. Two other employees and one other customer were inside the store at the time, but they were not injured.

Police are still working to determine a motive. Heimerman said there appears to be no known connection between Marshall and the victims.

Wichita Police recieved a call from inside the store of a shooting shortly after 8 p.m. Friday.

"Officers responded to this location. We go inside, we find two victims that appeared to be deceased," said Deputy Police Chief Nelson Mosley.  KFDI News later found out two men were dead inside the store.  

Mosley said that after clearing the store of customers, investigators could not determine how the two died.

"Right now we are looking at who's who, if there is any history with anyone out there. We're examining everything and we are still early in this investigation," Mosley said.

Several people were taken to City Hall for questioning by detectives, but Mosley was quick to caution that police had no suspects in the case.
