UPDATE:  The 19-year-old man arrested in a fatal east Wichita shooting has bonded out of jail.  Bond was set at $500,000 for the suspect after his arrest on first degree murder charges.

A woman was killed during an incident late Friday night at an east Wichita intersection, and police later took a 19-year-old Wichita man into custody.

Police said a man and woman were in a pickup going north on Greenwich Road around 9:45 p.m. when a group of motorcycles going east on Kellogg Drive ran a red light. One of the motorcycles hit the pickup and then one of the riders followed the truck as it continued north.   The rider fired a shot that went through a back window of the pickup, striking a woman who was a passenger in the pickup.   Police found the pickup near Central and Greenwich Road, and the passenger was taken to a hospital in very critical condition.  She died a short time later, and police identified her as 69-year-old Norma Williams of Wichita.

Police booked the 19-year-old suspect into jail on charges of first degree murder, criminal discharge of a firearm into a occupied vehicle, and aggravated assault.

In a separate incident, police said one person was seriously injured Friday evening in a shooting that happened in a northeast Wichita neighborhood.  The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. near 13th and Williamsburg.  No details have been released.
