Houston mom says man 'intentionally' killed 7-year-old daughter while leaving Walmart

Source: WLS-TV Chicago - ABC 7

HOUSTON, Texas -- LaPorsha Washington, mother of Jazmine Barnes, is revealing new details about the alleged attack that killed her daughter on Sunday morning.

Jazmine, 7, and her mother were shot as they were going to Joe V's to get coffee Sunday morning. Washington's three other daughters were in the car with them. They had just passed Walmart when a car pulled up.

Washington told ABC13 about her daughter's final moments.

"As I turned around and looked back at the street, I heard shots start firing and they came through my window, broke my glass, and hit me in my arm. They sped off in front of us and the truck slowed down and continued to fire as he was in front of us. It was not fair. It was not fair. He intentionally killed my child for no reason. He didn't even know her, he didn't know who she was."

After the shooting was over, one of her other daughters made the devastating discovery.

"She said, 'Momma, Jazmine's not moving. She's not talking.' I turned around and my 7-year-old was shot in the head."

The Harris County Sheriff's Office is asking all residents in the area around Wallisville Road near the E. Sam Houston Parkway to check their surveillance videos to help find clues that may lead to Jazmine's killer.

"My baby comes and asks me, 'Where's my sister? Is she coming back?' She's only six years old," said Washington.

If so, did this guy go out with the intention of killing some black people? Seems like it.

The vast majority of trucks, like cars, are white, black and silver. Houston is big, but not that big. Once word gets out there's a reward, someone will turn him in. There can't be that many nutters driving a vehicle like that.

This monster is bigger than one man. We must face this and root it out of our country. Canada does not allow Fox News for a start. Hate Radio and Hate TV must be stopped! What have we become?

Let's not conflate the right-wing nuttery with this particular event of which we have essentially no information. Let's focus on the actual crime in front of us first.
