Charges filed in shooting death of convenience store security guard in Wichita

A Wichita man has been charged with second degree murder for the shooting death of a security guard at a downtown area convenience store.

41-year-old Laroy West made an appearance Tuesday in Sedgwick County District Court.  In addition to the second degree murder charge, he is also charged with four counts of aggravated assault and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.   His bond was set at $250,000 and his next court date will be May 20th.

West is charged in the shooting death of 39-year-old Will Robinson during a disturbance on May 5th at a Quik Trip store at Broadway and Murdock.   Police said Robinson had escorted West out of the store after a disturbance, and the two men got into another disturbance across the street.

Police arrested West the next day, and Robinson died in a hospital two days after the shooting.
