(KAIR)--A suspected gunman remains free, as Atchison Police continue to seek public help in order to make an arrest.

31-year-old Kevin Maxey, Jr. is wanted on an arrest warrant charging him with attempted second degree murder.

That follows an early Sunday morning shooting that happened in the 1100 block of Atchison’s North 8th Street where a group of around 20 was gathered in a vacant lot.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News investigators believe Maxey and another person were in an argument, and that led to the shooting. However, the 42-year-old man who was shot twice was not involved. “The victim was actually not part of that argument but was standing nearby. As the argument escalated, the suspect produced a handgun and fired several shots off that struck the victim.”

Following the shooting, the victim was transported to Mosaic Life Care, in St. Joseph, for treatment.

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Maxey is urged to call police at 913-367-4323.
