Wichita man stabs teen and then takes off with children before being arrested: police
A 31-year-old Wichita man was arrested on multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder, after he stabbed a teenage boy and then kidnapped two children in north Wichita, Wichita police spokesperson Kristopher Gupilan said on Saturday.
Elias Abel Lujano and the children, who were taken in a vehicle, were quickly located by police thanks to the help of eyewitnesses, Gupilan said, adding the children were unharmed and were returned to their guardian.
Lujano was arrested on attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated kidnapping and interference with parental custody.
Police were called around 6:16 p.m. Thursday to a stabbing in the 2300 block of N. Prince, which is near 21st and Hillside.
“The investigation would reveal that Elias came over to the residence of (a 34-year-old) female victim and entered her home without permission,” Gupilan said in a news release. “A disturbance took place within the house where Elias stabbed a 17-year-old male victim.”
The teen had a non-life-threatening stab wound to his upper body.
“Elias then left the house with an 8-year-old female and a 6-year-old male against court orders,” Gupilan said.
They were found shortly after.
