WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - Wichita police have arrested a 34-year-old woman in connection to the city's latest homicide. 

 

Jail records show Latoya Annette McCurn was booked Tuesday evening for first-degree intentional murder. She was held on $250,000 bond late Wednesday morning. 

 

Officers responded at around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 7800 block of East Harry, near Rock Road, after a person walking through the alley behind a business found the body.

 

Lt. Krys Henderson said the male victim, later identified as 49-year-old Hung Nguyen, was found in an alley with trauma to his body. He had been stabbed. 

 

Wichita Police Department spokesperson Trevor Macy said officers learned Nguyen had been seen with a woman earlier in the day. They contacted McCurn and took her into custody. 

 

Investigators believe the two were strangers and that McCurn stabbed Nguyen after he upset her. 

 

Officer Macy said McCurn has a criminal history that includes various crimes in Texas. She was recently released from prison in that state on a previous arson-related conviction.
