Dontavius White was 22 when he was shot during a large gathering at the Cottages at Lake Tamaha apartments in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on June 19, 2022. The party turned violent after an altercation and gunfire erupted; White was privately transported to DCH Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead upon arrival.

A second victim, an 18-year-old man whose name was not released, was also shot, underwent surgery, and was expected to survive. Tuscaloosa Police responded around 11:00 p.m., secured the area near the front gate and pool, and the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit took over the homicide investigation.

Investigators interviewed witnesses and collected evidence at the scene and appealed for anyone who attended the party or has information to contact the Violent Crimes Unit. No arrests or suspects had been publicly identified and the investigation remained ongoing.

If anyone was at that gathering or has information about what led to the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
