ππππ½ππ½ This story is so heartbreaking π Children are so precious. I feel so bad for this little angel and her family. No one should have to go through what theyβre going through. Sending my prayers and condolences to her and family ππ½π. READ STORY BELOW π. STORY: After an intense, week-long manhunt, #Texas police have arrested a suspect in the drive-by killing of 7-year-old #JazmineBarnes. #EricBlackJr. faces a charge of capital murder in Jazmine's death. The second-grader was riding in a car with her mother and three sisters when she was shot in the head the morning of December 30. Before the arrest, police had released a sketch of the suspect compiled from descriptions from Jazmine's mother and three sisters. Authorities said the sketch depicted a white man in his 40s. But #EricBlack, the man facing a charge of capital murder, is 20 years old and black. S. Lee Merritt, an attorney advising the #Barnes family, said the arrest "was welcome news to the family." "At the same time, it was a major shock to the family," Merritt told CNN on #Sunday morning. "Up until this point, at least four independent witnesses and a composite sketch had identified the primary suspect as a 40-something-year-old white male." While it may be difficult to understand the discrepancy, "it is imaginable that witnesses confused a fleeing bystander for the actual shooter," On the morning of Jazmine's death, she and her sisters were still in their pajamas as their mom drove to #JoeVSmartShop to get supplies for breakfast. At about 7 a.m., a man drove up next to their car and opened fire, #Jazmine mother #LaPorshaWashington said. Washington, 30, was shot in the arm, while Jazmine's 6-year-old sister was hit by shattered glass. Jazmine's two teenage sisters were not injured. But minutes later, Jazmine was pronounced dead. More than 2,700 people have donated to a #GoFundMe set up for Jazmine's funeral expenses and family. #HoustonTexans receiver #DeAndreHopkins has said he'll donate his playoff game check to the family. Former #nba #losangeleslakers superstar #shaq helped pay for the young girls funeral. cnn; shaunking (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUMKkCg7cA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r7uwxf7b8i01
