Authorities urged anyone with information to contact detectives or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.

On July 16, 2025, Hutchinson police arrested a 31-year-old parolee, Andrew Presley, in connection with Black’s death after a brief standoff. Presley was booked into Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder and criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, stemming from a 2018 aggravated robbery conviction. The following day, Presley faced formal charges of second-degree murder in Sedgwick County District Court, with his bond set at $1 million. His next court appearance was scheduled for July 28.

Black, known to family and friends as “Bobo,” was remembered through a memorial created by his loved ones, who shared condolences and stories online. The case remains under investigation, with police continuing to seek additional information from the public.
