Barnes, her three sisters, and mother, LaPorsha Washington, were driving when an unknown man pulled up alongside them and opened fire. Jazmine died in the backseat as a result of her wounds.
Police believe the family was targeted at random.
Authorities say the unidentified gunman is a bearded white male in his 40s, wearing a red sweatshirt, according to Ms. Washington’s 15-year-old daughter, who got a glimpse of the suspect.
