An examination is still pending to determine White’s exact cause of death, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, which could not provide a time when the examination would occur.
White’s death was reported around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26, when deputies responded to a Best Western hotel in the 2000 Block of West Avenue I and found White suffering a gunshot wound inside a room, according to Lt. Brandon Dean of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. White was pronounced dead at the scene.
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Lt. Dean said detectives were reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses “to determine if this was a self-inflicted gunshot wound or a homicide.”
No arrests were reported, no suspect information was released, and no further information was provided by the sheriff’s department.
The sheriff’s department last week asked for the public’s help in locating White.
“White suffers from a mental condition and her family is very concerned,” according to an LASD ‘Missing Person’ bulletin released last week. The bulletin stated that White “was last seen on Jan. 19, 2021, around 11 p.m., in the 45600 block of Sancroft Avenue in the City of Lancaster.”
In a statement released at 3:45 p.m. on Jan. 21, the sheriff’s department announced that White had been found, but did not provide any further details.
Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500, or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.

If there was no gun at the scene, that rules out suicide.

No it doesn’t. Who ever discovered the body or corrupted the “crime” scene could have removed it. This is why they need to look at security footage.

You sound like you’re the guilty party. Perhaps the sheriff should be looking into you and most certainly that racist loser Alby who always post his vile hatred on here
Raul says
Hmmm. I wonder if we’ve got a serial killer loose, here in the Antelope Valley?

I’m just curious, what did the person say that makes you guys say he needs to be looked at. You truly never know bc I don’t believe the young lady killed herself. My condolences to her family and I pray that God solves this case soon
