Sentencing is set for January before Circuit Judge James Anderson.

Overview

  • Detrayreon White Jr., 25, admitted to murdering 57-year-old Tony O’Neal, a plea announced Tuesday by Montgomery County District Attorney Azzie Oliver.
  • Authorities say the killing occurred on May 12, 2023 after White arrived unannounced at his mother’s home and an argument with O’Neal turned physical.
