Jamal White Found Safe

A tense 48-hour search came to a relief-filled end when 7-year-old Jamal White, who was abducted at gunpoint outside his home late Friday, was found safe today in Milwaukee.

What Happened?

On July 11 at approximately 7:00 PM, Jamal White was taking a ride on his bicycle in the 6200 block of W. Hustis Street when a masked and armed suspect forced him into a white Jeep Renegade and fled the scene. An Amber Alert was issued just before midnight, prompting search effort across Southeast Wisconsin.

Milwaukee Police detectives followed leads that included surveillance footage of the Jeep Renegade and multiple tip-offs from community members. 

By Saturday afternoon, authorities confirmed Jamal White had been safely recovered; the AMBER Alert has since been officially canceled. 

A photo obtained by The North Carolina Beat captured the moment authorities had White safely in their arms.

White’s mother, Paris Marie, also confirmed on Facebook that her son had been found.

Continuing Investigation

Although Jamal is safe, the suspect remains at large. The Milwaukee Police Department urges anyone with information to call the tip line at 414‑935‑7242 or dial 911, emphasizing that every detail helps.
