SAN ANTONIO - A suspect and his accomplice accused in the Thanksgiving shooting death of 10-year-old Delilah Hernandez were arrested Thursday evening.

Cody Gann, 18, faces a murder charge and Jasmine Cary, 19, was arrested on a warrant for evading arrest, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

Delilah was fatally shot Nov. 23 as she slept in her home in the 100 block of Harwood Drive and was not believed to be the intended target, according to previous reports.

Police said they received help in identifying the shooters from a tipster who was moved by the child's death and told investigators, "this 'craziness' has to stop."

Gann and Cary were arrested at a motel near Interstate 10 and Vance Jackson, said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.

Gann was quiet Thursday as he was questioned by reporters while he was escorted to a police vehicle at the Public Safety Headquarters, 315 S. Santa Rosa Ave.

"I'm not gonna say anything," Gann said. "I want my lawyer."

Cary said "I'm innocent," as she was being placed in a police cruiser.

Investigators said they believe Delilah's older brother was the target of the shooting.

Delilah's brother, Nathaniel Vega, 19, told police he had received threatening messages from a rival gang member (Gann) in the days leading up to the attack, according to a warrant affidavit.

"Today's the day," read one message received via a messaging app the night before one or more people opened fire on his home in the 100 block of Harwood Drive, killing his sister, Delilah, as she was lying in her bed.

Police said Gann's father's house was shot at Sept. 1 and Cary's home was shot at on Nov. 22, just 24 hours before Delilah was killed, according to an affidavit.

Delilah's mother, Jackie Vega, was at home with her four children when her daughter was killed. Vega heard the gunfire just before 7 a.m. She rushed to the living room to help her two younger sons. Nathaniel Vega was asleep in another room. She thought her daughter, who was in a back room asleep, would be out of the line of fire. But a bullet caught the little girl in the chest, and she died at University Hospital a short time later.

None of Jackie Vega's sons were injured.

Police found at least 10 large-caliber rifle casings at the scene, according to the affidavit. Several rounds pierced the front wall, windows and front door, the document said.

On the night of the shooting, McManus indicated the area is no stranger to violence.

"The house has had problems in the past," McManus said at the scene. "We believe it's gang-related directly to the brother."
