After the news was made public, ABC reporter Cefaan Kim of Wabc-tv, who worked with Boone for years at NY1, paid tribute to her on Instagram.
“Ruschell Boone was a tremendous human being. Always shining. I’ll never forget how when I got my first on air break at @Ny1 covering Queens and she was The Queens reporter, how she supported me, guided me, mentored me. When so many others would have seen me stepping int their territory as a threat, Ruschell embraced and encouraged me. She was one of a king. Gone too soon.
