SEDGWICK COUNTY—A Kansas teen involved in road rage killing of a Kansas grandmother is going to prison.
On Thursday afternoon, Judge Jeff Goering sentenced 20-year-old Daryon Boone to nearly 27-years in prison for the shooting death of 69-year-old Norma Williams last year, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In August, Boone, who was 19 at the time of the killing, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder in the death of Williams.
Just before 10 p.m. Sept. 1, 2023, 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 of Wichita 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 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 Williams.
