David White, 24, of Orlando, Florida, was found dead in his apartment on December 5, 2016. Investigators concluded the death was not natural and opened a homicide investigation after evidence at the scene indicated foul play.

Police identified several people who had been in contact with David in the days before his death and focused on a close acquaintance with a reported history of violent behavior. Forensic evidence collected from that person’s residence, including fingerprints and DNA, was entered into the investigation. The primary suspect was arrested, charged with murder, and tried; expert witnesses including forensic scientists and medical examiners testified about the evidence and cause of death.

A jury found the defendant guilty, and the court imposed a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. David’s family attended the trial and has since worked to honor his memory.

If anyone knew David, his routines, or saw anything around his apartment in early December 2016, please share what you know.
