SEDGWICK COUNTY—A man captured in Mexico is going to prison for a double-murder in Kansas. This week, Judge Jeff Goering sentenced 37-year-old Kyle Young to life in prison, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In October, Young plead guilty to the murder of 22-year-old Alicia Roman and 27-year-old George Kirksey, according to the district attorney's office.
In the early morning of January 2, 2020, police responded to a shooting call at the Hotel at WaterWalk in the 700 block of South Main, in Wichita, according to officer Kevin Wheeler.
Upon arrival, officers located the bodies of Roman and Kirksey with multiple gunshot wounds, according to Wheeler.
The investigation revealed that Roman and Kirksey were inside of the hotel room when a suspect identified as Young entered the room and fired multiple shots, striking them and then he ran from the scene.
Investigators learned of Young's involvement and six months later located him in Mexico and made an arrest, according to Wheeler.
According to court documents Young was upset that his former girlfriend had moved on and found someone else. Young will be eligible for parole consideration after he serves 100-years.
