LAPD Public Statement
RE: Arrest Report #35 – Incident Took Place on July 6, 2025
Prepared by Chief Buford Malone
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On July 6th, 2025, at approximately 12:54 PM CST, Los Angeles Police Department officers, in cooperation with deputies from the Sheriff's Department, responded to a series of serious criminal offenses perpetrated by a suspect who was subsequently identified as Jaylen White (DOB: 03/12/2007).
The incident occurred in the 8003 area and red garage section, where the suspect was first approached by deputies regarding a stolen vehicle associated with a recent robbery. The suspect fled the scene by stealing a marked sheriff's cruiser upon approach. This prompted a high-risk pursuit and escalated further when the suspect employed a vehicle to strike Officer Leo Liciaga while trying to get away, causing injury to the officer's leg.
The suspect was subsequently located at a beach area, where he again attempted to flee in yet another hijacked police vehicle. The police were forced to fire shots in pursuit after the suspect had posed an immediate threat. The vehicle later crashed into the ocean. The suspect was shot and was pulled out and provided with medical care on the scene before he was arrested and booked at the MRPD.
Charges for Jaylen White are as follows:
Attempted Murder (x2)
Felony Evading
Grand Theft Auto (x3)
Resisting Arrest
During the course of the investigation, an anonymous source, john doe , came forward, providing a sworn affidavit that the suspect had bragged about the robberies and the theft of two police vehicles in advance. This has been corroborated and added to the active case file.
All relevant bodycam video has been collected and entered into evidence. Additional sheriff's units were involved in the arrest; names are being confirmed for this final report. Detectives may seek a search warrant at this time to process the suspect's phone, which was seized at the time of arrest.
The LAPD is committed to transparency and safety of our community. Updates will be provided as the investigation continues.

After that, we had a 9-1-1 called at the blue minivan with bullets and the metal of the car was driving through the north highway, and then me, Sheriff, and another officer started chasing the blue van, then my head popped, I came back, then they had a visual on the blue minivan who shot the Chief and the Sheriff.
