A courtroom fell silent as the verdict was read: Kenya Webster was convicted in the targeted drive-by shooting that claimed the lives of 23-year-old Kenyunta McWilliams and her unborn child. McWilliams, eight months pregnant at the time of her death, was preparing to welcome new life into the world when violence cut both lives short in an instant.

Prosecutors described the shooting as deliberate and calculated — a devastating act that robbed a family not only of a daughter, sister, and friend, but also of a baby who would never take a first breath. Loved ones say Kenyunta was full of hope, eagerly awaiting motherhood and planning for a future that was stolen far too soon.

After hearing evidence, a jury found Webster guilty. She was sentenced to life in prison — the most severe punishment available. ⚖️

Yet for McWilliams’ family, the sentence brings accountability, not closure. No ruling can restore the laughter that once filled their home. No prison term can replace a young mother or the child she carried.

Community members have gathered to honor Kenyunta’s memory, lighting candles and releasing balloons in tribute to the two lives lost. 🕯️ They say her story is a painful reminder of the toll of senseless violence — and the lasting void it leaves behind.

Justice was served in a legal sense. But for those who loved her, the grief remains immeasurable. 💫
