Police in Texas have released a composite sketch of the suspect wanted in connection with the murder of a seven-year-old girl.

Jazmine Barnes was killed in a drive-by shooting on her family's car near a Houston-area Walmart store on Sunday.

Her mother, LaPorsha Washington, was also shot during the attack. Three other children were also in the car.

The FBI have joined local police in hunting for the suspect, who police say is a white male in his 30s or 40s.

The new sketch, published on Thursday, was compiled from testimony by Ms Washington and two of her daughters, aged 13 and 15, who were in the car at the time.

Your excerpt doesn't explain how or why they described a person that looks nothing like the shooter or driver.

The answer to that is "The new sketch, published on Thursday, was compiled from testimony by Ms Washington and two of her daughters, aged 13 and 15, who were in the car at the time."

"I wonder how this inaccurate sketch was generated" is very different from "Your excerpt doesn't explain how or why they described a person that looks nothing like the shooter or driver."
