Brandi Williams was 16 when she was killed during a gathering in Wichita, Kansas on November 7, 2021. The group included adults and teenagers at a home in the 900 block of North Volutsia. An argument involving Brandi, an 18-year-old female, and two teenage boys, ages 14 and 16, escalated. The two boys produced firearms and opened fire toward the two girls. Both girls were struck; Brandi was found unresponsive in the front yard just before 10:30 p.m., taken to a hospital, and pronounced deceased. The 18-year-old sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was released from the hospital.

Wichita police located and detained the two juvenile suspects. The 14-year-old and 16-year-old males were booked into the Juvenile Detention Facility on murder charges and the case was submitted to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office for charging decisions. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Brandi, please come forward.
