Prosecutors said Sunday that the shooting death of a 7-year-old black girl as she rode in her family's vehicle stemmed from a case of mistaken identity. Prosecutors charged 20-year-old Eric Black Jr. in the Dec. 30 death of Jazmine Barnes. Family and community activists had previously said they believed the death was racially motivated, and investigators had been searching for a white man with blue eyes who was driving a red pickup. Prosecutors did not immediately explain the discrepancies between the earlier description of the suspect and the vehicle. Hundreds of people gathered at a rally Saturday afternoon for the girl near where the shooting happened.
