Texas: Second Man Arrested in Murder of 7-Year-Old Girl
-------------------------------------------------------

In Houston, Texas, funeral services were held Tuesday for Jazmine
Barnes, the 7-year-old girl who was shot while in a car with her mother
and three of her sisters last week. A second man, 24-year-old Larry
Woodruffe, was charged with capital murder Tuesday. Woodruffe is
believed to be the shooter, while another man, Eric Black Jr., who was
charged earlier this week, is said to have driven the car involved in
the shooting. Police say the shooting was likely a "case of mistaken
identity."
