The problem is it didn't fail. It ran on for over a week and the hate generated is still bubbling along with nowhere to go. To some they believe the current suspect was framed to get Whites off the hook. Check out comments on twitter. the denial is strong. They WANT to believe this lie and that's a problem in itself.
Eta: If the family wanted peace she should have never lied about the suspect description. She should also give back any money beyond the funeral and hospital costs but I'll take bets she doesn't. The part about getting big $ of your dead child is really creepy to me.

I remember when this story broke.
suspicion that it was a white person.
Next story I read, it was a black person that was arrested, and a second.
That the shooting was a case of mistaken identity, a mistake made by the shooter.
I never read much about racism, just a little at first, in this story.
Now it appears you are one of the EXPLOITERS.
do you get what I am saying?
YOU, are one of THOSE PEOPLE.
You are milking this story.
made a video too? yes..

Dude was all over the news here about the racist white shooter for days before the two black suspects were arrested. With absolutely no basis for it - even if the shooter WAS white, how does that mean it was a racially motivated attack? Maybe a drug dispute, mistaken identity (as it was), domestic dispute, etc. No, we here are not the "exploiters." The exploiters are the ones who falsely gave a white description and claimed racism with no basis.

My question is if this is a gang related shooting by a black man, how did the story of a white racist ever start?
A mother with her 4 daughters was doing a coffee run at 7am well it was still dark, then a white dude in a red pickup truck pulls up next to them at the lights... The red pickup truck obviously pulls away.
Then out of nowhere 2 black guys roll up beside the car and start shooting... They confused the car with another car that belonged to a person they recently had an altercation with at a club.
In the confusion, the obviously traumatized mother and surviving daughters only remembered seeing the white dude in the red pickup truck.

You can hardly blame the mother and her surviving daughters for getting confused about what actually happened in such a scenario... Nor can you blame people for assuming such a meaningless & random attack might have been a hate crime.
The only people at blame here, are the stupid morons who rolled up on the car and started shooting in the first place.
“It went down very quickly when the gunfire erupted,” Gonzalez said. “You’re talking about small children, they witnessed something very traumatic, and it’s very likely the last thing they did see was indeed that red truck — and the driver in that red truck — and that’s what they remember last.”
...
all the information up until yesterday has been that the shooter was an older white male in a red truck, that came from not only one of the victims, 15-year-old Alexis, but from an eyewitness nearby.”

Tragedy of girl shot attempted to be expoited for racial division; fails
The police interviewed this girl's siblings who were seated beside her when the shooting occured. They gave a description of a white male and pick-up truck that was, in fact, at the scene.
I would tend to afford small children that witnessed their sister being murdered beside them a little grace for confusion as bullets rained down on the car unexpectedly.
It seems pointedly abhorrent to accuse them of exploiting their sisters murder, giving false information to the police, in hopes of encouraging some national outrage.
