Close to 200 people were inside the concert hall. Multiple witnesses told police they saw Williams shoot Thomas and then take off.

Curtis King, the founder of the Black Academy of Arts & Letters, chased after Williams on foot to the Thompson Hotel off Akard.

"I went into a state of emotional rage where everything was blur and blurring," he recalled. "I went out the door and said, ‘Where did the lady go?’ And they pointed in the direction where she went. I saw her through the glass doors, and so I just started running after her."

Officers arrested Williams in the hotel lobby. Police say a handgun was located inside her purse.
