When the doorbell rang at the Hutchinson home, the neighbor had no idea what he was about to encounter at a home nearby — a 27-year-old wife and mother with two fatal gunshot wounds.




Jennifer Heckel was loved. She had an accounting degree from Wichita State University, worked as group leader in human resources at Kroger corporate offices in Hutchinson and lived in a good neighborhood.




The mystery is why and how she ended up gunned down by someone while her 5-year-old son was home with her.




After the doorbell rang that evening, the neighbor recalled, he "saw this little head go by."




It was Heckel's son, playing a prank, the neighbor thought at first. But when the neighbor went outside to talk to the boy, the child said something the neighbor didn't expect to hear.
"Mommy's hurt."




Heckel's husband was working out of town, and her 5-year-old son had gone to the neighbor's to get help.




"So I followed him, and I went in the sunroom door ... turned left into the living room and turned left into the kitchen, and there she was, and I thought she had fainted or something," said the neighbor, who asked that his name not be used to protect his safety.




She was lying on her right side, her head under a table.




He reached down to try to feel a pulse, and Heckel's body was warm.




But her eyes remained open. "I knew something was bad wrong," the neighbor said.




"That's when I panicked."




Later, the neighbor said, the boy told him he had been watching television, heard his mother scream and heard a shot.




It is a challenging case for investigators, Hutchinson police Capt. Troy Hoover said Tuesday.

Kenner police said it all started when one of their license plate recognition cameras detected a stolen SUV with three people in it. Investigators said the SUV was reported stolen during an armed robbery in New Orleans six days ago, and one of the suspects is 19 and the other two are 16.




The chase, which lasted seven minutes, started on Veterans Boulevard, then onto the airport access road and onto the lower level of the airport beginning a path of destruction that hit at least five occupied cars, police said.




"The driver jumped out. One of the passengers jumped into driver's seat, tried to get away again as police were trying to approach. It rammed another vehicle. As police approached, it continued trying to get away, striking the vehicle and that's when he was shot by the police officer, before he could cause any more damage or harm," said Kenner Police Chief Steve Caraway.
Caraway said the teen, who was trying to escape, was hit once on the side of his stomach and no one else was hurt.
