Washington added that her daughter's initial description was not off.
"It wasn't a figment of her imagination," she said. "Because when we looked at the cameras they saw the red pickup truck and the gentleman in it and it was a white guy."
Despite the misunderstanding, Washington says she is happy she can mourn Jazmine's death and get ready to bury her in two days.
She is also thanking the community for all of the support in the week since Jazmine's death.
