    If the description of the perp had been accurate the story never would have made national news. It would have been buried because it doesn't fit the current media agenda.

    Having said that, it is tragic that a little girl lost her life regardless of the skin color of the idiot that pulled the trigger.

    Who exactly provided the original description? The mother? Eye witness accounts are notoriously shaky but this is a pretty big discrepancy.

    From the article: “It’s apparent black people are under attack in this particular part of the city,” Muhammad said.

    That may well be true... but not by white guys in red pickup trucks.

    The liberal Houston Sheriff always tries to flame up racial tensions. Time will tell if there were others involved like the supposed "white guy with blue eyes" or if it was just this 20 year old black male acting on his own.

    One more reason why this nation can never move past issues of race. An innocent child murdered, but with an initial scenario that affirms the media's bias on race. Cue the demagoguery, the outrage, the automatic guilty verdict toward white males in general...then poof! The Perp isn't Caucasian!

    What we won't see...media retrospection, apologies issued, a similar level of coverage of false racial accusations.

    Meanwhile, the young girl is still dead but it somehow it doesn't matter as much anymore.

    Yeah. “Hate crime”. Because white racists always team up with black people to commit hate crimes against black people. The article said that one of the people arrested and charged admitted involvement with the shooting. So he helped the white dude? Really?

    And if it’s a hate crime, how would it be a case of mistaken identity, as the article suggests? Don’t racial hate crimes typically target indiscriminately such that the only case of mistaken identity is if they accidentally targeted the wrong race. This aspect of the story has to be bull****.

    Journalist Shaun King and civil rights attorney Lee Merritt have come together to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest of Jazmine's killer, increasing the amount to $100,000.

    Not being sure how the arrests came to be made (if there was someone who provided a tip, etc, I wonder if the reward will still be paid?

    Edit: I went back and re-read the initial article posted and saw this:
    Black, who investigators identified as a suspect based on a tip, reportedly admitted to “taking part in the shooting.”
    , so curious if the reward did/will get paid to the tipster or not.

    They were also saying on the news this morning that the red pickup may have been the last vehicle that the deceased girl's sister saw. Still doesn't explain the difference in description of the shooter(s) though.

    It might not have been a blue eyed white guy this time, but it could have been, so the facts don't really matter.

    I think we can all agree that even if WD didn’t do it this time he still wanted to in his mind.
    So it really is still WD’s fault.

    Eyewitness testimony can be unreliable.

    News at 11.

    There's unreliable, and then there's … wow.


    In other unremarked, not-news, also in Houston area (Texas City), Junaid Mehmood stabbed his girlfriend's children (including his own one-month old son) to death, inflicted blunt trauma on his girlfriend, and shot her in the head with a "high powered" pellet gun numerous times. At last report girlfriend was in hospital unable to talk. Mehmood called the cops and waited for them to pick him up (he was a felon and not allowed to buy guns, so gun control worked this time. I guess). No discrepancy on the perp ID there. I wonder how much Shaq and Shaun are going to pony up for those kids' funeral?

    I feel sorry for the white guy driving the red pickup truck who just happened to be in the area at the time of the shooting, and by default became the shooter. Truth no longer seems to apply.
