Jazmine Barnes shooting: officials praised for pursuing Shaun King tip
Tip from writer and activist led to arrest of Eric Black Jr, who is African American, after police issued sketch of a white man
Activists praised Houston law enforcement for pursuing a tip from the writer and activist Shaun King that led to an arrest in the shooting death of Jazmine Barnes, a seven-year-old black girl.
The suspect is African American, which suggests the attack was not a hate crime as asserted by the girl’s family and some in the community.
