COLD CASE: WICHITA POLICE SEEK PUBLIC'S ASSISTANCE
The Wichita Police Department is asking for the community's assistance in providing information regarding the unsolved homicide of Arthur Goebel, who was tragically killed on July 16, 2017.
At approximately 2:25 a.m., officers responded to a shooting at Goebel's residence in the Lamplighter Mobile Home Park.
Investigators learned that Goebel had been awakened by a noise and went to investigate. As he approached his front door, he was shot. Goebel died from his injuries.
Today, Arthur would have celebrated his 76th birthday. While more than nine years have passed since his death, his case remains unsolved. His family and loved ones continue to deserve answers, and our investigators remain committed to seeking justice for Arthur.
We are asking anyone who may have information, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, to come forward. Your information could be the missing piece needed to help solve this case.
If you have any information regarding Arthur Goebel's homicide, please contact Wichita Police investigators at 316-268-4407. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
