In the quiet town of Kentwood, Louisiana, a domestic dispute escalated into a tragedy that ended the life of 39-year-old Julius Jebarze White. On the evening of July 24, 2022, deputies from the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a disturbance where shots had been fired. Upon their arrival at the residence on Cecil P Road, they discovered White lying at the back door with a single gunshot wound to his shoulder.
Emergency medical personnel provided extensive
life-saving measures at the scene, but the injury proved to be fatal, and White succumbed to his wound. The ensuing investigation quickly identified his ex-girlfriend, 33-year-old Hannah Pittman, as the individual who had fired the shot. The incident reportedly occurred during an argument between the former couple. Pittman remained at the residence after the shooting and was described as being fully cooperative with the authorities throughout the initial investigation.
Following their on-scene investigation and interviews, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office took Hannah Pittman into custody. She was subsequently booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail on two charges: one count of negligent homicide and one count of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. The details surrounding the argument that led to the fatal shooting have not been publicly disclosed. Information regarding the progression of Hannah Pittman's case through the court system, including any trial or conviction, has not been made available in public records.
