A man accused of shooting and wounding a 42-year-old near a festival in Atchison, Kansas early Sunday morning remains at large.

Atchison Police Chief Michael Wilson says the department’s Special Response Team executed a search warrant on Kevin Maxey’s residence Sunday evening, but he wasn’t home.

Maxey, who is 31, is the suspect in the 3am shooting Sunday that left a man wounded from two gun shots. Emergency crews rushed him to a St. Joseph hospital, where he remains. He has not been identified by Atchison police. His wounds are considered life-threatening.

Wilson says detectives have been gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. They got an arrest warrant for Maxey Sunday afternoon, but he has yet to be located.

If anyone has seen him or knows where he can be found, please call the Atchison Communication Center at 913-367-4323.  The department says callers do not have to give their names.
