WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Police in Wichita are seeking a motive in the city’s fourth homicide of the year.
A relative found the body of 38-year-old Michael Salyer in his downtown apartment Monday afternoon, more than 16 hours after neighbors last saw him alive. The Wichita Eagle reports that an autopsy Tuesday showed Salyer had been stabbed to death. He also had severe head trauma.
Wichita police Lt. Ken Landwehr says there were signs of a brief struggle, but robbery doesn’t appear to be a motive. No drugs or paraphernalia were found in the apartment, and Salyer’s wallet, keys and other valuables were also left behind.
Investigators had no suspect as of Tuesday night.
