The seven-year-old was shot in a Walmart parking lot last week.
Texas police have arrested Eric Black, Jr. in connection with the murder of seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes and charged him with capital murder, CNN is reporting.
Barnes was shot and killed on December 30, as the Daily Beast reported last week, in the parking lot of a Houston Walmart. The girl and her family were sitting in their vehicle, minding their own business, when a red pickup truck pulled up to them and a gunman opened fire, shooting several rounds into the vehicle. Seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes was shot in the head and killed. Her mother, LaPorsha Washington, was injured, as was a six-year-old girl also in the car. Two teens in the car were not injured.
Washington described the assailant as a “white man with no beard,” possibly in his 40’s, and police initially had little to go on but her description of the assailant and his vehicle.
