The latest developments mark a turning point in a case that shocked the nation. They do not believe the driver – described as a white man in his 40s – or the truck were involved in the shooting, he said, despite previous reports suggesting racism played a role in Jazmine’s death. Meanwhile, investigators are still looking for the driver of a red pickup truck reported at the scene, Gonzalez said. He has not been charged in connection with the shooting. Jail records indicate that Woodruffe is currently in custody on drug possession charges. The sheriff declined to name the second person, citing the pending investigation, but prosecutors identified Larry Woodruffe as the second suspect in a court hearing for Black Saturday morning, the Houston Chronicle reported. He faces a charge of capital murder and his first court date is February 15. He is accused of driving the car used in Jazmine’s death, Gonzalez said in a news conference Sunday. Jazmine, who was 7, was riding in a car with her mother and sisters on December 30 when someone in another vehicle shot her in the head.Įric Black Jr., 20, was arrested Saturday in a traffic stop for not using his turn signal. The death of a 7-year-old girl in a drive-by shooting in Houston was most likely a case of “mistaken identity” involving two suspects, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said Sunday.
