Jazmine Barnes, 7, was shot and killed Sunday morning as her family drove to Walmart.
A Houston activist said he believes the deadly shooting of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes just days before the new year was racially motivated.
Activist Deric Muhammad, who stood outside a Harris County Sheriff's Office substation in Wednesday's cold and damp morning hours, said Jazmine's murder could be connected to a shooting in the same area during Hurricane Harvey.
Jazmine was riding in the backseat of her family car along the East Beltway 8 feeder road near Wallisville Road on Sunday morning.
The shooter seemingly targeted the girl's family — her mother and three siblings, ages 6, 13 and 15 — at random as they made their way to a nearby Walmart.

The family never made it to the store, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. As far as investigators know, the family did nothing to spark the gunman's ire and he made no attempt to communicate before opening fire around 6:50 a.m. from the next lane over.
Detectives with HCSO's homicide division said the shooter was a white male with a beard driving a red pickup truck. The vehicle was spotted by security cameras nearby.
An outcry of support started pouring in from all around the country, including from nationally known civil rights activist Shaun King – who propped up a $50,000 cash reward to help catch Jazmine's killer.
