HOUSTON – The Office of the Governor’s Criminal Justice Division Monday offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the person or persons involved in the shooting of 8-year-old De'Maree Adkins.
The award offered by the Governor’s office, combined with the Houston Crime Stoppers award of $5,000 will bring the total amount to $15,000.
The 8-year-old girl was shot and killed after being involved in a car accident in southwest Houston early Saturday morning, according to the Houston Police Department Homicide Division.
“Cecilia and I send our deepest sympathies to De'Maree’s family during this unimaginably difficult time,” Gov. Greg Abbott said. “There is no place for heinous acts like this in Texas. We urge anyone who has any information to contact Houston Crime Stoppers immediately to bring those involved to justice."
De'Maree was an honor roll student at Mac Gregor Elementary, as well as an aspiring violinist.
