Manhunt on for gunman who killed 7-year-old girl outside a Houston-area Walmart

HOUSTON (KTLA) -- Authorities in Texas on Monday were hunting for a gunman who killed a 7-year-old girl Sunday outside of a Houston-area Walmart.

The slain child has been identified as Jazmine Barnes, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

The incident took place near a Walmart in northeastern Harris County.

A mother, daughter and three others were leaving when a male began shooting into their car, according to Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said the suspect pulled up next to the car and opened fire.

Gonzalez said the girl's mother, LaPorsha Washington, 30, was wounded. The sheriff's office said glass fragments injured a younger child. Two teens were unharmed.

The mother and daughter are black. The suspect, who authorities are describing as a white male in his 40s, fled the scene in a red truck.

Authorities were working to determine whether the shooting was random or targeted.
