Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has dedicated this Saturday's AFC wild-card game to Jazmine Barnes, a 7-year-old girl who was killed in a drive-by shooting in Houston earlier this week, and will donate his playoff check to the family to help cover funeral expenses.

"When I see Jazmine Barnes' face, I see my own daughter," Hopkins wrote in a Twitter post with an image of Barnes on Thursday. "On Saturday, I will be playing in your honor, Jazmine."

The Houston-based child was shot and killed Sunday while sitting in a car near a Walmart with her mother and siblings. The gunman, driving a truck, is still at large and authorities have intensified their search.

Hopkins said his $29,000 check for the wild-card game will also go toward bringing Barnes' killer to justice. Shaun King, a community activist in New York, has teamed up with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office to help find Barnes’ killer by offering a $100,000 reward. King also initiated a rally to be held on Saturday outside the Walmart.

Hopkins wrote on Twitter, in part: "I'm pledging my playoff check this week to help her family with funeral costs and to support @shaunking @SherriffED_HCSO @SylvesterTurner in bringing this man to justice."

Services for Jazmine are Tuesday. Afterward, mourners will release purple balloons in her memory.

The Texans face the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC wild-card game Saturday at 4:35 p.m. ET. The three-time Pro Bowler excelled in the Texans' overtime victory over the Colts in Week 4, finishing with 10 receptions for 169 receiving yards and a touchdown.
