- You know the name "Jussie Smollett" . . . learn the names "Genesis" and "Andrzej”.
LaPorsha Washington, Jazmine's mother, was on a morning coffee run.
She too had been shot, but she survived.
Washington gave an interview from her hospital bed, describing the unique and precious life that was taken that day.
Jazmine was "so much fun”, a seven-year-old who would "boss everyone around…..The teachers loved her…. She brought so much joy and happiness to everybody around her. When she walks into a room, Jazmine is gonna kiss and hug everybody, even if she didn't know you."

...Jazmine's sister, Alxis Dilbert, and their mother described the shooter to police as a blue-eyed white man, driving a red pick-up truck.
- The face in the police sketch could be the poster model for any nightmare vision of an Aryan Nations boogeyman.
- His skin is pale.
- His clear, blue eyes are cold and merciless.
- His long, straight nose is thin; his nostrils delicate.
- His pale cheeks are hollow.
- The red pickup truck is the very vehicle the stereotype would require for a Southern, white supremacist.
- The only missing accoutrements are a Confederate flag and a MAGA hat.
A "Justice for Jazmine" Go-Fund-Me page, begun by her father the day Jazmine was shot, raised $87,284.
NFL wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins donated his $29,000 playoff check to the family.
Shaquille O'Neal and a police officer chipped in to pay for Jazmine's funeral.
Celebrities Jayda Pinkett Smith and Gabrielle Union tweeted that the "evil monster" who killed Jazmine must be found. Hundreds rallied in Jazmine's name.
She was, to Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, "everyone's child. The nation's child. Seen around the world … We are not going to be the do-nothing crowd. We are going to be the 'see-something-say-something' crowd … We need a national task force. Let the killer know that the heat is on and the heat is up."

Nation of Islam activist Deric Muhammad had insisted that a "white supremacist" murdered Jazmine. At a "Justice for Jazmine" rally, Muhammad asked, "Whose child?" In reply, the crowd chanted "Our child," multiple times. Rapper and activist A. J. McQueen demanded, "Let's talk about race! Imagine a baby girl. What if her first words were 'Please don't shoot'? Let's talk about race!"
Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King joined in.
King is controversial.
He claims to be biracial, but the parents listed on his birth certificate are white – thus his nickname "Talcum X."
King has faced numerous other controversies.
King tweeted a photograph of Jazmine's coffin with the caption, "A tiny little casket. My God." On January 4, 2019, on twitter, King named a man, Robert Cantrell, whom he believed to be Jazmine's killer.
Cantrell did indeed look just like the man in the police sketch.
"We've had 20 people call or email us and say he is a racist, violent asshole and always has been. Just tell me everything you know," King tweeted.

...When Jazmine Barnes was the victim of a white man, she was front page news.
After January 6, 2019, when a black man was charged with Jazmine's murder, her name disappeared from the national conversation.
Malcolmxxx5, a man posting on Shaun King's twitter feed, wrote, "When some blk folk thought it was a white person they were tweeting their butts off, 1000's of tweets. Now that they know its blk thugs behind it, tweets dam near got cold. Thats sad in itself."
