Jazmine De’nea Jazzy Fay Barnes was a 7-year-old African American girl who was fatally shot on December 30, 2018, in northeastern Harris County, Texas. She was riding in a car with her mother, LaPorsha Washington, and three siblings when a man in a red or maroon pickup truck pulled alongside and opened fire. Jazmine was killed at the scene; her mother suffered a gunshot wound to the arm and a 6-year-old sister was cut by shattered glass.

Within days two men were arrested and charged with capital murder: Eric Black Jr., 20, and Larry Woodruffe, 24. Authorities said Black and Woodruffe were allegedly attempting to retaliate against someone they had argued with and mistakenly targeted the wrong vehicle. Eric Black Jr. pleaded guilty to murder and agreed to testify against Woodruffe. Larry Woodruffe was found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

A public funeral at Community of Faith Church in Houston drew thousands, including civic leaders and celebrities, as the community mourned a child described as bright and beloved. Does anyone have memories of Jazmine or information about the case that could shed more light on what happened that night?
