Video After The Jump
Law enforcement authorities were searching on Monday night for one of two gunmen who they allege opened fire on a Forest Hill car wash bay, killing a North Texas rapper and his 5-year-old daughter.
A judge signed a capital murder warrant for the suspect, whose name police declined to release.
A family member identified the victims as Chuckie Smith, known as G$ Lil Ronnie, and his daughter.
Two males wearing blue jeans and gray sweaters about 10:45 a.m. left a white four-door Kia, approached Smith’s vehicle parked in a bay, and shot the father and child to death, Forest Hill police said.
Police suggested they had not identified the second suspect.
Forest Hill Police Chief David Hernandez did not respond to questions from a reporter on whether a surveillance camera at the business recorded the shooting or the suspects arriving or fleeing and on whether ejected cartridge casings were recovered at the scene.
Smith’s aunt Stella Houston told reporters that Smith was cleaning out his car when “somebody came through shooting and killed him and the baby.”
“He was a family man and he was going around rapping, OK?” Houston said. “Why would you target him? ... He didn’t bother nobody. And a baby? His baby?”
