Seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes was shot and killed when a gunman opened fire on the car she was riding in with her mother and three sisters, according to CNN. Jazmine’s mother, LaPorsha Washington, said they were listening to music as they drove to a convenience store near Houston early in the morning on Sunday, December 30. The mother and her daughters were still in pajamas, making a coffee run and preparing for their Sunday dinner, when the shooter drove up and open fired, CNN reported.

"As I turned around and looked back at the street, I heard shots start firing and they came through my window, broke my glass, and hit me in my arm,” said Washington. “They sped off in front of us and the truck slowed down and continued to fire as he was in front of us.”

Washington, who had been shot in the arm, drove away before pulling over to call 911, reported the Houston Chronicle. That was when one of her daughters said that Jazmine wasn’t moving or talking. “I turned around and my 7-year-old was shot in the head," said Washington.

According to the Chronicle, her two other teenage daughters were both unharmed, but her 6-year-old was wounded, and her 7-year-old, Jazmine, died before paramedics could get her to a hospital.

Officials reported that the suspect was wearing a red hoodie and fled in a red pickup truck with no plates. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez described the suspect as a white male in his 40s with a beard. Washington herself made an emotional plea for the suspect to surrender to authorities from her hospital bed.

"We're going to use all resources available to bring this killer to justice," Sheriff's Major Jesse Razo told reporters. "And I urge you, whoever did this, you know who you are. Please turn yourself in now — because we will be looking for you, we will locate you, we will find you."
