Washington is the mother of 3-year-old Jalexus Washington Jr., who was fatally shot last month. 

The 26-year-old bonded out of the Dallas County jail last week after she was arrested on a charge of tampering with evidence and multiple counts of endangering a child in connection with the shooting.

Washington Jr. died on March 28. His mother initially told police he was shot in a road-rage incident after they visited a donut shop on Walnut Street in northeast Dallas. 

The child's father, Jalexus Washington Sr. also faces charges in connection to the shooting. He remains in the Dallas County jail.
