Two young women -- one of whom died -- are victims of a shooter who Washington city police believe was aiming for someone else.Alexis Barnett, 19, of Washington, was walking with a group of people on Bruce Street when they came under fire about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday, police said.VIDEO: Watch Beau Berman's reportJust before 6 p.m. Thursday, police announced that they questioned Jamaal Greene and Shawn Sessoms in connection with the shooting, but neither man has been charged.However, Greene was arrested for probation violation, and Sessoms was arrested on a warrant issued by the Washington County Drug Taskforce.Barnett was shot in the back. She was taken to Washington Hospital, where she died an hour later.The other victim, identified by police as Jasmine Young, 20, was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital. Police said she was treated for a leg wound and has been released."We believe that neither one of the victims were targeted in the shooting, that there was a separate individual in the area that they were targeting, and these girls just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time," Lt. Dan Stanek said.Police believe the intended target was a man walking in the group with Barnett and Young."They were just going back to one of the girls' houses," Stanek said. "They had been hanging out all night together and were headed back to one girl's house in Maple Terrace."Stanek would not discuss why the man was targeted but said he has been cooperative with their investigation."This was not a random shooting. I think some earlier reports indicated a drive-by. That's not the case," Stanek said."The only other additional information we have is we are trying to identify the occupants of a small silver vehicle that was seen in the area just prior to and just after the shooting," Stanek said.Anyone who has information is asked to call police at 724-223-1386. Callers may remain anonymous.On Friday night, nearly 48 hours after the shooting, friends and family gathered at the site on the 1100 block of Bruce Street to remember Barnett.Her mother, father, stepfather, uncle and siblings talked to the crowd about Alexis."If any person in this world deserved to live, it was Alexis. Lexi was the best person that I knew and I still can't process that she's gone and she'll never be back here again," said Alyssa Wise, who said she shared siblings with Barnett and grew up with her.Jasmine Young was at the vigil on crutches, still recovering from the wound in her leg. She declined our requests for an interview."If you love somebody, you better tell them. I swear on everything I own it was four hours before this happened I gave my daughter a kiss on the cheek and said I love you I'll see you Friday and we'll get a phone. There's no way I should be looking at you guys telling you how great my baby was," said Larry Thompson, Alexis' father.Weather wouldn't quite cooperate with the lighting of the candles but the group still spoke to Alexis, releasing balloons into the air in her honor."We love you, Alexis," they shouted.Her mother, Anissa Asbury, was quiet during the vigil. Her mother died recently and was laid to rest Wednesday, just hours before Asbury received the phone call that her daughter Alexis had been shot. It all comes just days before Mother's Day."I just want to thank you for coming out and celebrating her life with us," said Asbury.Get the WTAE Pittsburgh's Action News 4 App
