On the evening of January 22, 2025, 36-year-old Buford Troman Pete White was shot and killed outside his home on Mountain Drive in Tarrant, in the Birmingham metro area. He had just returned from picking up a pizza when he was gunned down in his front yard. His mother and a female acquaintance inside the house found him wounded and called for help; White was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:33 p.m., having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Tarrant police later identified two 19-year-old suspects, Eddie Jordan Jr. and Javaris Russell Jr., and in April 2025 announced capital murder warrants for both. U.S. Marshals captured Eddie Jordan Jr. after a brief chase, but hours later he escaped custody while being held at UAB Hospital. Authorities also linked Jordan to a separate homicide that occurred days after White’s killing. U.S. Marshals took Javaris Russell Jr. into custody in late April 2025 without incident, while the search for the escaped Eddie Jordan Jr. continued.

Does anyone in the Tarrant area have information about White’s killing or sightings of Eddie Jordan Jr. after his escape?
