The victim's family expressed their grief and disbelief at the lack of remorse shown by the killer. The convicted murderer, Claudia Banton, remained emotionless as the victim's family confronted her in court, expressing their pain and betrayal.

Banton and Johnson were former friends, but the motive behind the murder remains unknown. The shocking incident was captured on surveillance footage and police bodycam video, showing the brutal nature of the crime. Despite being stopped by police shortly after the shooting, Banton was released after witnesses mistakenly identified the shooter as a man.

The senseless murder of Delia Johnson has left her family shattered, with no clear understanding of why Banton would commit such a heinous act.
