An Update On The Jazmine Barnes Case.

One of the two men accused of involvement in the shooting death of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes in Texas made a court appearance Monday and was ordered held without bond.

Eric Black Jr., 20, who wore a yellow jumpsuit to Harris County Criminal Court and had his hands and feet shackled, was taken into custody on Saturday, nearly a week after Jazmine was fatally shot as she was riding in a car with her mother and three sisters in the Houston area on Dec. 30.

Following the hearing, a prosecutor told reporters that investigators believe that the car Jazmine and her family were in was targeted "in retaliation for an altercation that had happened earlier in the night.”

"I don't believe that Mr. Black knew the family. I believe this is a case of mistaken identity and I think that Jazmine was an innocent bystander, unfortunately," prosecutor Samantha Knecht said.

Black has admitted to driving a car in which a person in the passenger seat, identified only as Larry W., opened fire on the vehicle occupied by Jazmine's family, prosecutors previously said in court documents. It's unclear if Larry W. has been charged in the shooting. He did not appear in court with Black on Monday.

Black also told authorities that the gun used in the shooting was at his home and gave investigators permission to search his property, according to prosecutors.

Authorities later recovered a 9 mm pistol consistent with shell casings found at the scene of the shooting, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said in court documents that the suspects did not know they had shot at Jazmine and her family until they saw the story on the news later that day.

When news first broke that someone was in custody and the sketch was all wrong including the description and everything, people was confused like me. So instead of posting every little detail that came out I decided to wait and slowly gather information to share with everyone. The suspects are Black, not White. The motive is a case of Mistaken Identity. The story that's being told is a Gang thought they were shooting at another rival after a dispute earlier that day and that's all I know.  What I will say is it's sad regardless. Nobody should be shooting at anyone at this point.  We as Black people have it hard enough. It's time to stop this foolishness because this is not the first nor last time an innocent person was shot and killed.
