Wichita man sentenced to 32 years after 2 die in crash

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A judge has sentenced a Wichita man to more than 32 years behind bars in connection to the deaths of two people in 2022.

Chief Judge Jeffrey Goering sentenced 20-year-old Elijah Sullivan to 391 months in prison.

In May, Sullivan pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntary manslaughter, criminal discharge of a firearm, aggravated battery, and criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.

The victims were 21-year-old Amill Williams and 20-year-old Alonzo Montgomery of Wichita. On Feb. 21, 2022, someone was shooting at their car . The victims began driving faster, crashing into a tree near Lincoln and George Washington. The two men died, and a woman in the car was seriously injured. An investigation showed the bullets did not hit any of the victims.

Four people were charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Williams and Montgomery.

Sullivan and 18-year-old Javion Wimbley pleaded to lesser charges of voluntary manslaughter. Wimbley was sentenced in June to more than 30 years in prison.

Two other suspects are still charged with the two counts of first-degree murder and other charges. James Lowe, 21, and Tre’Breh Jones, 21, remain in the Sedgwick County Jail. Their trials are scheduled for later this year.
