The man accused in a fatal shooting in east Wichita has been charged with first degree murder. 25-year-old Markeithan McClaine made his first appearance in Sedgwick County district court Wednesday.
McClaine is charged in the July 27th shooting death of 20-year-old Chancelor Williams of Spartanburg, South Carolina. Williams was an airman at McConnell Air Force Base.
