SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities continue investigating a deadly shooting in Wichita that left a Kansas woman dead.

According to an online fundraiser, 69-year-old Norma Williams and her husband were driving home from a Friday night Football game when she was shot and killed.

Just before 10 p.m. Friday, police were dispatched to report of a shooting in the 11200 block of East Central Avenue, according to Officer Juan Rebolledo.

Officers arrived on the scene and located Williams unconscious and not breathing with a gunshot wound to her upper body.

Officers began providing life-saving efforts until EMS arrived. Mrs. Williams was transported to a local area hospital where she was pronounced deceased.

During the investigation, officers learned that Mrs. Williams was the front passenger of a 2021 Honda Ridgeline traveling northbound on Greenwich, approaching the eastbound lanes of Kellogg Drive.

When they reached the intersection a group of motorcycles riding eastbound ran the red light and one of the motorcycles driven by 19-year-old Daryon Boone of Wichita struck their vehicle. Following the incident, Boone followed the vehicle, ultimately producing a handgun and shooting into the vehicle, which fatally injured Mrs. Williams.

Police arrested Boone  on a requested charge of first-degree murder, criminal discharge of a firearm into an occupied vehicle, and aggravated assault. He posted bond and is no longer in custody.
