The Milwaukee Police Department has since launched an investigation. But the suspect who allegedly snatched him still hasn’t been caught.

What Happened To Jamal White?
On Friday, July 11, at approximately 7:00 p.m., Jamal White was reportedly riding his bike near his home on the 6200 block of W. Hustis Street, per WFRV Green Bay. That’s when a masked man rolled up and forced him into a white Jeep Renegade SUV. The suspect is described as a Black male in a black hoodie and face mask. Additionally, witnesses say the individual was allegedly strapped with a handgun.
The Jeep quickly pulled off with Jamal allegedly inside, its license plate nowhere in sight, and he’s been missing ever since. At the time of the incident, White was seen wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts. He’d been outside, cycling through his neighborhood street just moments before the abduction, and it remains unclear whether the suspect shares any ties to Jamal or his family.
Ring Camera Footage Shows The Moment Jamal Was Abducted
A neighbor’s Ring camera caught the chilling moments before Jamal White was abducted, with the clip already going viral on social media. The footage shows the white Jeep Renegade creeping up near Jamal while he’s pedaling along. At first, the Jeep’s going the opposite way from Jamal. But then it makes a quick U-turn and starts tailing him. Seconds later, screams are heard, which are believed to be Jamal’s. The suspect allegedly snatches him (off-camera) and speeds off. The community has since come together, trying to make sense of the situation and hoping that someone will come forward with information.
