On the morning of July 1, 2021, first responders were called to a home on East Toronto Street in Tucson, Arizona, for what was initially reported as a medical emergency. Inside, 19-year-old Talmadge Cardell Holmes Jr. and his 14-year-old brother, Jaiden White, were found dead of gunshot trauma. Their 44-year-old mother, Willona Ametrice White, was also found with gunshot wounds; investigators later said all three had been shot multiple times and described the scene as an execution. It was reported that one or more of the victims may have been asleep when the attack occurred.

Investigators focused on John Edwards James, the estranged husband of Willona White; he was reportedly out on bond for a domestic violence charge at the time of the killings. In June 2022 James was arrested in connection with the triple homicide while already in custody on unrelated drug charges, and in May 2023 a jury found him guilty of the murders.

Did anyone in Tucson know the family or have information about East Toronto Street around July 1, 2021?
