WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Daryon Boone, 19, appeared in court on Monday to hear the charges against him in the death of 69-year-old Norma Williams. Boone is charged with first-degree murder and criminal discharge of a firearm.

Wichita police said on Sept. 1, Williams and her husband were at Kellogg and Greenwich when they encountered a group of stunt riders. They said Boone ran into the Williams’ truck. When the couple tried to flee, Boone and a couple of other riders chased down the vehicle.

Boone was arrested shortly after the shooting and booked into jail. A day later he was released on a $500,000 bond. Boone remains free on bond. He is due back in court on Oct. 2 at 9:30 a.m.
