Orsie Lee Carter, 79, was found dead on May 22, 2018, in the 3900 block of South Bronson Avenue in Leimert Park. A family member discovered Carter alongside her husband William Carter, 83, and their son Phillip Steven White, 65, in the bathroom of White’s home; all three had been beaten and shot and were pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner listed blunt force trauma and gunshot wounds as the causes of death.

Investigators identified 55-year-old Nancy Jackson, a longtime friend of Phillip White who had been staying at his home as a caretaker, as the primary suspect. Jackson was arrested on May 24, 2018, charged with three counts of murder and pleaded not guilty. Reports say the killings grew out of a personal dispute after Jackson refused to leave when asked; the scene was described as particularly brutal, with the victims found piled on top of each other.

Anyone with information about the deaths of Orsie Lee Carter, William Carter, or Phillip Steven White is asked to come forward.
