In the US state of Texas, a $30,000 reward is being offered for information about a suspect who shot a 9-year-old girl in Houston last week.
It is reported by ABC News.
It is noted that the incident occurred last Tuesday, when Ashanti Grant was heading to the grocery store with her family. The family happened to be in the middle of a race between two cars.
A white GMC Denali clipped the family's Chevy Tahoe multiple times before the driver of the pickup truck from behind swerved and fired right at them.
The girl received a gunshot wound to the head, she was hospitalized at Texas Children's Hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery. Ashanti is currently in a medically induced coma. At the same time, according to doctors, the little patient's condition is gradually improving.
On February 14, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and local police chief Troy Finner appealed to the public for help in identifying those involved in the shooting.
“Life (Ashanti. – Ed.) Has changed because of this cowardly act of a man who thinks he is above the law,” Turner pointed out. “But we are going to keep the incident in the spotlight.”
According to preliminary data, the car was probably driven by a Hispanic. A woman was traveling with him in the cabin.
Amid the incident, the mayor issued a call for surveillance cameras photographing traffic situations around the city to also be able to record video.
