BELOIT — A rural Beloit man was shot in his home early Friday morning and died later in the day.
Law enforcement in Beloit and Mitchell County and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation are investigating the case as a homicide, Beloit Police Chief Ryan Stocker said Friday.
The Beloit Call reported Friday that a family member confirmed that the deceased was Gary Nelson, a longtime area resident. However, that couldn’t be confirmed through official sources.
Nelson died in a Wichita hospital, the newspaper reported.
Mitchell County Attorney Mark Noah said late Friday the victim’s next of kin had been notified, and that he expected to be able to release the victim’s name today.
