On December 23, 2021, Janice Yvonne White, a 56-year-old woman from Fort Worth, Texas, was fatally shot in her kitchen. Police were called to the scene around 2:36 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting at her residence on Sunflower Circle North. When they arrived, they found White with a gunshot wound to her upper leg. She was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
The investigation revealed that the shots were fired from outside the home, but it
remains unclear whether White was specifically targeted or if it was a random act. Police have not released any information about a suspect or motive, and no arrests have been made in connection with the case. Homicide detectives are continuing to investigate, and they have urged anyone with information to come forward.
White was a mother of three and a grandmother. She was a certified nursing assistant and was looking forward to starting a new job with Fort Worth ISD. Her family has been deeply affected by her loss, and they are cooperating with the police in hopes of finding justice for her.
The case remains open, and the Fort Worth Police Department is actively seeking information from the public to help identify the shooter. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are following every lead to bring those responsible to justice.
