Murder of Herbert McWright

On May 25, 1968, 57-year-old Herbert McWright was at his neighbor's house on Ohio Ave in Wichita, Kansas. The neighbor would leave her home around 10:30 pm to run and get gas. She would return home within a few minutes. She would find Herbert in his car swerving on 10th st. She knew this was strange and honked her horn at him. This would cause him to pull over for him.

He had been shot and told her that he was looking for her. That she needed to call the police. She opened the door and this would cause him to fall out of the car and would soon die before help could come. It was found that he had been shot in the hip. 

Herbert was a former Kansas City Police Officer.
