Houston police charge man, 20, with murder in Walmart shooting death of seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes
 [Daily Mail UK] Admit 'investigation has taken new direction', as multiple sources say shooter is black, not white Oops Houston police have charged a man, 20, in connection with the murder of seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes who was killed in a Texas Walmart parking lot. Investigators have filed a capital murder charge against Eric Black Jr after the child was gunned down in the back seat of her family's car with her three siblings and mom. Fox 26 reports the alleged shooter is black, not white, and also that the shooting may have been gang-related. A second suspect has been named in local reports as 24-year-old Larry Woodruffe, and has been arrested, according to ABC 13. Police tweeted: 'The Jazmine Barnes Homicide investigation has taken a new direction. Detectives are in the process of interviewing persons of interest. More details will be released as soon as possible.' The driver of a red pickup truck pulled alongside the vehicle and fired inside, killing her on Sunday December 30. Police had earlier described the suspect as a bearded white male in his 40s. But they added that they had not yet determined a motive, including whether race might have played a role. It comes as hundreds of people gathered at a rally on Saturday holding signs reading 'Justice for Jazmine.' Organizers of the rally also led the crowd in chants that repeated the phrases, 'What do we want? Justice. Who do we want it for? Jazmine.' Jazmine's family had said they believe her death was racially motivated. Time to bury this story, it's become "inconvenient to the narrative" Posted by: Frank G 2019-01-06 |
