WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police in Wichita say two teenagers were shot to death on the south side of the city. Police say in a news release that the shooting happened just before 9:30 Monday night, when officers were called to the scene. Arriving officers found 17-year-old Alexis Cervantes-Martinez and 16-year-old Mariah Zamora, both of Wichita, with gunshot wounds inside a vehicle that had crashed into a garage at an apartment complex.
