A Florida man has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with a 2023 crash that left two women dead in southeast Wichita.
Charges were filed against 21-year-old Ahmad Juma, who was arrested in Miami, Florida and booked into the Sedgwick County jail this week.
Police said Juma was driving a car that went out of control, hit a pole and rolled several times near Pawnee and Woodlawn on November 15th of 2023. Two passengers in the car, 19-year-old Lian Awadi and 19-year-old Carol Chakra, died as a result of the crash. Juma was thrown from the vehicle and hospitalized.
Juma’s bond was set at $500,000 and his next court appearance was scheduled for February 3rd.
