In a tragic turn of events in Wichita, Kansas, two individuals, namely 21-year-old Jonathan Tillery-Matthias and 25-year-old K’Veion Richard, have been formally charged with first-degree murder in connection with the untimely passing of 1-year-old Taidyn Anderson on Monday, February 19. The gravity of the charges laid against the accused is further compounded by additional allegations of committing a felony and recklessly discharging a firearm in an occupied dwelling, as per court documents.
The two accused individuals, Tillery-Matthias and Richard, have been remanded in custody with an imposing $1.5 million bond each as they await their upcoming court appearance scheduled for Wednesday, March 6.

The Wichita Police Department was summoned to the scene of a shooting incident in the 2500 block of S. Oliver on February 19 following reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, law enforcement officers discovered three victims of the shooting, including the young Taidyn Anderson and two 24-year-old women. Tragically, Anderson succumbed to his injuries, while the two women sustained critical yet non-life-threatening wounds and were promptly transported to a nearby medical facility for urgent treatment.
Further investigations into the matter revealed that there were other individuals present in the residence at the time of the incident, including a 24-year-old man, a 5-year-old girl, and a 10-month-old girl. Fortunately, none of them were harmed during the shooting spree. The evidence gathered by the authorities strongly indicates that the appalling act was premeditated and targeted, with the perpetrator reportedly discharging multiple rounds from a handgun within the confines of the apartment.
