Do you know who murdered 19 year old Kaiheem White in 2013? Kaiheem J. White, a 19-year-old Black/African American male from Wilmington, Delaware, was killed on November 26, 2013, in a shooting that unfolded in the 200 block of East 22nd Street. He was also known by the nickname “Joker,” and he lived on the 800 block of North Spruce Street. That Tuesday evening, around 5:45 p.m., police were called after numerous 911 callers reported hearing gunfire in the area.
When officers arrived, they found Kaiheem suffering from a gunshot wound.
One report described the injury as a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken by ambulance to Christiana Hospital, but he was pronounced dead after arriving there. His death became Wilmington's 19th homicide of 2013, adding another name to the city's toll of young lives lost to gun violence.
In the immediate aftermath, police said the investigation was ongoing, but they did not have information about possible suspects. Later, the Wilmington Police Department's Cold Case Unit continued to list Kaiheem's killing among its cold case highlights, describing the case as a shots-fired complaint that led officers to Kaiheem, who had been shot and later succumbed to his injuries.
Available online information does not identify any arrested suspect, named suspect, criminal charges, trial, or conviction connected to Kaiheem White's murder. The case has remained presented publicly as an unsolved homicide, with investigators continuing to seek information from anyone who may know what happened on East 22nd Street that evening.
