The shooting death of a star high school athlete in southwest Kansas is being investigated as a homicide.
Finney County authorities tell The Garden City Telegram that 18-year-old Braxston Medina was shot about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at a home in a rural subdivision east of the city. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.
Medina was a Garden City resident and standout wrestler at Garden City High School, where he recently began his senior year. The newspaper reports he finished fourth last year at the Class 61 state tournament at 135 pounds.
Sheriff’s investigators were at the scene of the shooting Tuesday afternoon. No arrests had been made.
