WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) -

The Village Park Woodgate Apartments have been at the center of two headlines for murder in just a few months which has at least one resident wanting to move.

Two people have been killed by alleged suspects with guns, one in October and another in December at the apartment complex.

One resident says she no longer feels safe. “I do not, not any more,” the unidentified woman said.

The woman says she wants leave, finding a place to live where she will not be exposed to such serious crimes, but she says the apartment management is holding her to her lease.  The woman says she would have to spend around $900.00 to break her lease.

While breaking a lease can be complicated and costly, there are resources to help negotiate a deal for the tenant. Click here for details.

The Wichita Police Department has taken notice of the serious crimes happening at the Village Park Woodgate Apartments and released this statement: “Due to the frequent calls to the apartment complex, the Wichita Police Department is proactively working with the property management to address the issues related to criminal activity.”

A murder in October that police call gang related took the life of Debrylan Bell. Police arrested four people. Click here for details.

Another murder in December took the life of Robert Young. Police arrest one person in that case. Click here for details.

In addition to the murders, there have been 23 other incidents at the apartments that police responded to over the past 90 days. Those include vehicle thefts, car break-ins, burglaries, vandalism calls and drug offenses.

The management at Village Park Woodgate Apartments have received a message from KAKE News looking for comment on what steps they are working on to keeping residents safe and criminals out, but managers have yet to respond.
