WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita man has died two days after a bar fight, and the man accused of punching him is now facing a manslaughter charge, police said.
Alonzo Haywood, 31, died Sunday at a hospital from injuries he received in a 2 a.m. Friday fight outside Mulligan's Pub, police said. According to investigators, Haywood had been arguing with James Elbert Thomas, 51, also of Wichita, when Thomas punched Haywood, causing the younger man to fall to the ground and hit his head.
Police said a melee then broke out involving multiple people. Haywood was taken to a Wichita hospital by friends.
Thomas was arrested Friday, initially on suspicion of aggravated battery. That count was amended to reckless involuntary manslaughter after Haywood's death.
Thomas was being held in the Sedgwick County Jail on $250,000 bond.
