Police have spent the last week searching for a white man with blue eyes driving a red, four-door pickup -- the description of the shooter provided by Barnes' sister, who was also in the car [Whoops!].

In the first reports on this murder, it's my recollection that the Mother also said the shooter was a white male.

Is Chief Moose on this case?

[HighSierra5]

Maybe he’s a white African American or white Hispanic.

[Reno89519]

Drug related since the shoot was separately arrested for drugs?

[the_daug]

The mother claimed it was racially motivated.

[Lizavetta]

Look for this story to disappear like a Kavanaugh witness post confirmation.

Now I got Jessi Colter's song in my head: I'm Looking For Blue Eyes

Has anyone seen him?

[SoCal Pubbie]

The police sketch looks just like Mads Mikkelsen, the bad guy in Casino Royale.

“Even though it appears Black wasn’t the shooter, he can be held just as culpable as the actual gunman under a controversial Texas law that holds accomplices equally responsible for slayings.”

Controversial to who?

One eye in Valhalla Rising.

I call HS on this, She said it was a white man with a grey beard.....BS

[Pearls Before Swine]

She said it was a white man with a grey beard.

Yes, but why? If it was mistaken identity, wouldn't she want the shooter caught? Fear shouldn't be a factor then.

[Deaf Smith]

"Yes, but why?"

She is 15. I suspect that she knew/recognized the occupants in the vehicle from her 'nightlife' excursions.

Needed to throw off the LE. Did not matter what happened to her family.

[LeftyStomper]

She could be sure of his eye color at that range?

[StAntKnee]

She could be sure of his eye color at that range?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Heck of an observation. Cops didn’t believe her. Depend on it.

[Retvet]

Funny how some people always yell racism.

[Andy'smom]

That’s what I want to know.

[aimhigh]

This whole case makes me wonder if the mother is involved.

[greenishness]

She could be sure of his eye color at that range?

She could be sure no black man had blue eyes.

[BeckyRoss]

The story says she correctly identified a man that drove away from the scene. Turns out he was just trying to get away from the gunfire.
