Donald White II (Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office).

A Louisiana man convicted of murder for the shooting deaths of his estranged wife and her mother alongside attempted murder for the shooting of the woman’s father will remain incarcerated for life following the imposition of two life sentences last week, officials confirm.

The Caddo Parish Clerk of Court’s Office confirmed to Law&Crime on Thursday that Donald White II, 32, was sentenced on Sept. 19 by a local judge.

The sentences relate to two counts of second-degree murder for which White was found guilty on September 10, following merely an hour of jury deliberation. Additionally, he received a 50-year sentence for second-degree attempted murder, to be served consecutively with his life sentences, as stated by the clerk of court’s office.

“He did this — like right here,” recounted John Johnson, aged 77, to jurors, describing how White shot him during the early morning assault aimed at his daughter Jasmine Johnson and her parents on January 14, 2024, according to the prosecution’s remarks.

“Pow,” John Johnson narrated, as reported by The Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate newspaper, while mimicking the action of holding a gun horizontally with his hand on the stand, confirming, “He shot me.”

Jasmine Johnson and Joan Johnson, aged 29 and 70 respectively, were at Jasmine’s residence in Shreveport along with John Johnson when White — her estranged common-law husband — forcefully entered the premises and commenced shooting. Although present, their three children were neither targeted nor harmed during the incident.

John Johnson informed jurors that he and his wife were residing with Jasmine Johnson at the time of the attack and were awoken by a commotion, as reported by local CBS affiliate KSLA. Upon waking, the first sight he mentioned was seeing Joan Johnson lying with a bloodied head near their bathroom door, the Advocate details, after which he observed White nearby, who met his gaze before discharging his weapon.

“Are you a hundred percent sure it was me?” White, who represented himself during his trial, reportedly asked John Johnson.

“I’m a thousand percent,” John Johnson replied.

Throughout the trial, White had to be reprimanded and told of the requirements of representing himself by the judge, who told him at one point, “That’s not how this works.”

Police recorded a statement from Jasmine Johnson after she was hospitalized with injuries that would ultimately prove fatal. She accused White of chasing her in his car earlier in the day after he spotted her at a grocery store. She had two of their three children in her car and said she was 23 weeks pregnant at the time.

According to Jasmine Johnson, White rear-ended her car twice and forced her off the road. He allegedly ran up to her car afterward, grabbed her by the shirt and hair as she was inspecting her vehicle for damage, and then tossed her to the ground repeatedly.

“I drove off quick, because he said he was gonna kill me,” Jasmine Johnson said.
