Alexis ’Lexi’ White was 23 and a dispatch supervisor for the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office when she was killed in Orange Beach, Alabama, in the early hours of September 7, 2023. Officers responding to a 2:45 a.m. 911 call found White and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Cullman County Sheriff’s K9 Deputy Kenneth ’Kenny’ Booth Jr., dead from gunshot wounds in a common area of the Seaside Beach and Racquet Club on Perdido Beach Boulevard.

Orange Beach police concluded the deaths were a murder-suicide: during an argument Booth reportedly shot White multiple times before turning the weapon on himself. Both had worked for the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office; the sheriff said White had been affiliated with the office since age 16. No arrests were made because Booth was deceased at the scene and the investigation into what led to the argument was ongoing.

In October 2023 Alexis White’s father, as administrator of her estate, filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging Booth was heavily intoxicated and seeking damages from establishments that sold him alcohol despite visible intoxication.
