Tuesday’s arrest came as Jazmine’s funeral was held – her family opted for an open coffin before the ceremony at a Houston church.<\/p>\n
What happened?<\/h2>\n
Jazmine’s mother, LaPorsha Washington, was in the car with Jazmine and her three sisters near a Houston-area Walmart store on 30 December when a red pick-up truck pulled alongside them and a man inside opened fire.<\/p>\n
Jazmine was struck in the head by a bullet and died at the scene.<\/p>\n
Ms Washington was shot and injured in the arm.<\/p>\n
The case caused widespread outrage and celebrities joined an appeal to find Jazmine’s killer using the hashtag #JusticeForJazmine. A rally in Houston on Saturday attracted about 1,000 people.<\/p>\n
Ms Washington tearfully recounted the attack from her hospital bed and urged the gunman to give himself up.<\/p>\n
A $100,000 (\u00a379,300) reward for finding Jazmine’s killer was also offered.<\/p>\n
Both Eric Black and Larry Woodruffe were arrested on Saturday as the result of a tip-off<\/a>, Harris County Sheriff’s Office said.<\/p>\n Mr Black admitted taking part in the shooting. Charges were finally brought against Mr Woodruffe on the basis of corroborating evidence<\/p>\n Both men charged are black but a\u00a0photofit of a suspect released last week showed a white male\u00a0<\/a>believed to be in his 30s or 40s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Campaigners had feared the shooting, targeting an African-American family, might be racially motivated.<\/p>\n When the suspect was wrongly identified as Robert Cantrell, his photos were circulated online by bloggers.<\/p>\n Police now believe the man in the photofit was a witness that Jazmine’s sisters remembered<\/a>, not a suspect, WABC-TV reports.<\/p>\n His niece, Hailey Cantrell, said that threats had been sent to her Facebook page and she asked people to “back off”.<\/p>\n “I just want everyone to back off,” she said. “The truth is out. It had nothing to do with us, nothing to do with my uncle at all.”<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who is the man in the photofit?<\/h2>\n
