A woman killed in an apparent drive-by shooting on Thursday afternoon in Richmond was identified by police today as 20-year-old Ronique Gardner-Williams. The Mill Valley resident was found suffering gunshot wounds in a car by police officers who responded at 1:40 p.m. to a reported vehicle collision at San Pablo Avenue and Hilltop Drive, Lt.

No potential motives for the shooting or possible suspects are yet known, according to Hill.
