A woman who was shot in what investigators labeled a "targeted" shooting at a Chico residence last week has died, the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office said Thursday.

Sheriff's spokesman Kevin McCarty identified the deceased woman as 45-year-old Carolynn Williams and said she had been a resident of the home where the shooting took place.

Investigators are still seeking to locate two people who they believe fired at the home in the 4100 block of Chico Way on Feb. 24. Deputies were called to the home shortly before 1:30 a.m. after two people arrived at the residence in a vehicle, walked to the home, fired multiple shots from outside and then left the scene.

Six people were home at the time of the shooting, and the sheriff's office said last week that the home was targeted specifically. Williams was struck by the gunfire and taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment of life-threatening injuries. She was declared dead Wednesday, McCarty said.

Also on Thursday, the sheriff's office released surveillance video of a black, four-door sedan it said it was seeking to identify as part of the investigation.

Anyone with information related to the shooting may contact detective Jennifer Rice at 360-337-5616 or by email at jerice@kitsap.gov.
