Richard Jameswhite

Victims

15 ATTRIBUTED across four states, and the number of CONVICTIONS is not established by accessible sources. What was tried in Georgia was a smaller case, and it produced the life sentence of December 12, 1994. Five of the killings were in Brooklyn, where the New York City police made a public appeal in September 1993 to identify the gunman responsible. No source found establishes how many of the fifteen resulted in a conviction anywhere

Status

Born in 1973 and known as Babyface, he moved between New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Georgia and was connected to a group involved in drug dealing and armed robbery. Between 1992 and 1994 he shot people in the course of robberies and in disputes within and around that group. Five of the killings were in Brooklyn, and in September 1993 the New York City police made a public appeal for help identifying the gunman responsible for them. He was arrested on April 28, 1994 and convicted in Georgia, receiving a life sentence on December 12, 1994. THE GEORGIA CASE WAS A SMALLER ONE THAN THE FIFTEEN KILLINGS ATTRIBUTED TO HIM, and the accessible sourcing does not establish how many of the fifteen produced convictions in any state, nor what became of the New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania matters.

This entry sits in a category the archive holds a number of: killings arising out of an armed criminal enterprise, counted together and described as a series because one man did them. The motives were robbery and dispute, and the pattern that organises most cases here is absent.
