SEDGWICK COUNTY— A third suspect accused in the May 2020 shooting death of a Kansas teenager is going to prison.
Jakob Cuble, 21, Grand Prairie, Texas was sentenced Wednesday to just over 15-years in the Kansas Department of Corrections, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In July, he pled guilty to second-degree murder and attempted aggravated robbery.
On the afternoon of May 21, 2020 police responded to a shooting call at an apartment complex in the 1100 block of South Webb Road in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
Upon arrival, police located Sain in a parking lot with critical injuries. He was transported to an area hospital for medical treatment and died, according to Davidson.
Several minutes later, officers responded to an area hospital regarding an 18-year-old male walk-in shooting victim with a gunshot wound to his body. He was treated for a non-life-threatening injury and released.
The investigation revealed 25-year-old co-defendant Malcom Ganther, Nathaniel Saunders, Sain, and an 18-year-old boy had arranged to meet in the apartment complex parking lot regarding a drug transaction.
A suspect arrived at the apartment complex parking lot driving a newer-model white mustang, and Ganther arrived at the same time driving a grey Buick. Sain and the 18-year-old walked up and got into the Buick, occupied by Ganther.
During the transaction inside the Buick, a disturbance ensued, and the suspect seated in the Mustang exited the car and fired multiple shots at Sain and the 18-year-old, striking them and causing their injuries. Ganther then fled in the Buick, and the second suspect fled in the Mustang. Police arrested Cuble two weeks later.
Earlier this month Ganther was sentenced to 10-years in prison.
