Mark Anthony White, 45, was killed on the evening of April 5, 2021, in Tampa, Florida, after a long-running dispute with his next-door neighbor over Mark firing shots at the fence on his own property. The confrontation escalated when the neighbor, Nathan Espinal, warned Mark to stop; Mark reportedly cursed and made an obscene gesture. Espinal later told investigators he lost control and shot Mark several times. Mark was found lying in his front yard about 50 feet from the shared fence line.

Mark’s family remembered him as kind and caring; his aunt Beverly Barnes had been living with him after her husband’s death and said she thought the world of him. He had been with his girlfriend, Deana Owens, for 12 years; Owens described the killing as senseless. Nathan Espinal, then 37, was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. The case was proceeding through the justice system as of April 2021.

If anyone knew Mark, his routines, or witnessed the events that evening, can you share information that might help clarify what happened?
