Wichita police were talking to several people after a man was found shot to death inside a home just northeast of the downtown area.  Officers were called to the 800 block of North Wabash shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday, and they found a man believed to be in his early 20's who was dead from a gunshot wound.

Police captain Rusty Leeds said officers have everyone in custody that they need to talk to, and no one else was being sought.   Officers did not find the gun right away, and dogs were used to search the area around the home. 

Leeds said it's too early to determine if this is a homicide, and police were working to get more information on what happened inside the home.   Yellow crime scene tape was stretched in front of the home and traffic was blocked on Wabash just north of Murdock as the investigation was underway.
