WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A woman has been charged with first-degree premeditated murder for the death of a woman who was hit by an SUV in Wichita following an argument at a party.
Wichita media outlets report Tiplance Marie Walker was charged Thursday, and is in jail on $150,000 bond. According to a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office, she also faces charges of endangering children.
Wichita police say 31-year-old Lydia Treto was killed after being hit by a vehicle Sunday evening in the backyard of her home. Authorities say witnesses told them Treto was hosting a party when she and Walker got into a physical argument.
Witnesses say Walker took her two young children and got into an SUV, and she drove the car into the backyard of the home, killing Treto.
It is not immediately clear if Walker has an attorney.
