A second person has now been sentenced in the killing of 72-year-old Terry Keller, who was shot to death while sitting in his parked Jeep near the Central Park Community Center in Topeka. Michael T. Bonjour, who was 17 years old when his adult co-defendant was sentenced earlier this year, pleaded guilty to intentional second-degree murder and attempted aggravated robbery and was sentenced.
Bonjour's original first-degree murder charge was dismissed as part of the plea agreement. The article also cites Justia for legal background.
How Investigators Traced Two Figures to a Parked Jeep
Keller was fatally shot on July 15, 2025, while seated in his Jeep, which was parked at the eastern edge of Central Park near the community center at 1534 SW Clay Street. Security-camera footage was part of the investigation.
Wisdom T. Curls, identified as 24 years old in reporting on the case, was a person of interest in Keller's killing.

Curls was arrested after Topeka police released a security-camera image from a neighborhood digital canvas that identified him as a person of interest, per the JC Post.
Curls was charged in connection with Keller's death, according to WIBW-TV.
Curls' earlier history is not detailed in the cited accounts.
