What's this I hear about a white guy with "bright blue eyes" in a red pickup shitting out two black murderers? I still blame whitey for this.

a basic overview of events;

A week ago Sunday, 7 year old Jazmine Barnes was killed when a drive-by gunman opened fire on the vehicle her family was traveling in. Jazmine was fatally shot in the head, her mother was struck in the arm and sister injured by broken glass.

The family identified the gunman as a thin white male in his 30s to 40s to police, assembling a composite sketch which was distributed by police to identify the suspect. They were very specific on details such as 'bright blue eyes' from having made direct eye contact with him prior to the shooting.

The mother LaPorsha Washington and father Chris Cevilla were interviewed by the media and appeared at 'Justice for Jazmine' rallies this past week where they said it was a hate crime. They took on the services of black civil rights attorney Lee Merritt, known for taking high profile cases like this, and the media widely reported the shooting as a racially motivated hate crime. Merritt publicly connected the shooting to a previous unsolved incident and said this could be the work of a serial white supremacist gunman.

The parents set up a GoFundMe and accepted $76k+ in donations from the public, as well as large donations from Shaq, a top TX cop and the $29k playoff game payslip from Deandre Hopskins. White male black civil rights activist Shaun King offered a $100k reward for the identification of the shooter on twitter. The story was widely commented on by many other celebrities and activists.

Two suspects were identified and arrested today after turning themselves in after a tip led them to the suspects who were detained without incident, admitted to the shooting and were charged with capital murder. They were identified as 20 year old black male Eric Black Jr and 24 year old black male Larry Woodruffe, the latter named as the gunman, the former presumably the driver. The motive has been identified as a gang-related shooting, with the shooter mistaking the victims for someone else. Documents state that the shooters only learned they had fired on the wrong target when they heard the story in the news, and identified both the rental vehicle they used and led police to the gun.

Jazmine's funeral and another balloon releasing and vigil are planned for Tuesday.

/e incorrect on how they were arrested

It would've been a better read if they'd said that the perp was a white devil with bright blue eyes and a swastika tattooed on his forehead.
