Suspect’s neighbors say they saw no signs

A man who answered the door declined to speak with Mims.

“We have nothing to say,” he said.

But Mims was able to speak with neighbors who were shocked to learn the man was the person accused of shooting and killing a DeKalb County police officer.

Joshua Shirah says investigators came to the house around 11:30 p.m. on Friday night and stayed for several hours.

He says White grew up in a home on the cul-de-sac of Windchime Way, where he lived with his parents and did yard work for neighbors.

“Seemed like an OK guy. I communicated with him a few times. I know he did work for my grandfather around the house,” Shirah said. “Not the kind of person I thought would do that, but stuff happens.”
