Tyler Dowling, 14, found dead in a field; 14-year-old boy arrested in homicide case

Earlier this week, the body of a 14-year-old boy was found in a field behind an apartment complex in northwest Manhattan. Police said Tyler Dowling, a freshman at Manhattan High School, was the victim of a homicide.

KMBC Channel 9 reported yesterday that a 14-year-old boy had been arrested in connection with the killing. The Wichita Eagle reported that the boy was also a freshman at Manhattan High and was being held at the Geary County Juvenile Detention Center. This is such a sad story without knowing any of the details.
