"Ebonny was not the intended target of this," explained Officer Todd Tyler with the Houston Police Department. "Other than that, we're not sure who this guy was shooting at, but again, according to witnesses and evidence there at the scene, she was not the target."
"If this was your child, if this happened to you, you would want to know too," said Ebonny's mother Sherrie Murrell. "You would want somebody to say something. If the person that's out there that done this, if you have a heart or a conscience, please just turn yourself in. Do the right thing."
The suspect is described only as a black male in his early to mid 20's, approximately six feet tall, and weighing between 160 to 180 pounds. He was wearing a dark hoodie jacket that was either navy or black, and dark pants.
