Andrew Jackson White was 13 and living in Chickasha, Oklahoma, when he was shot and killed on Tuesday, May 30, 2017. He was visiting his 31-year-old neighbor, Boone Buben, at about 1:27 PM when he was shot in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene. Andrew was described as outgoing and confident, enjoyed joking and playing video games, helped his grandparents, and had moved to Chickasha to live with his great-grandparents; he was about to start ninth grade in Chickasha Public Schools.

Buben initially told authorities the firearm discharged accidentally while he was putting it away. After a polygraph on June 12, 2017, Buben changed his account, admitting he had pointed the pistol at Andrew and pulled the trigger, believing the gun was unloaded, and said his earlier story was a lie. A second-degree manslaughter charge was filed against Buben.
