Officer Jason White was shot and killed as he approached a suspicious man on the landing of a row house in the 200 block of 14th Street, SE.

Before he had a chance to draw his weapon the subject stood over him and shot him numerous times in the face. The subject also shot Officer White's partner in the shoulder, but the round was stopped by her vest. The man was convicted of murdering Officer White and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Officer White had served with the Metropolitan Police Department for four years and was assigned to the 1st District.
