The CCSO’s official statement and preliminary investigations reveal that the tragic incident transpired around 2:45 a.m., when Booth and White, who were reportedly involved in a dating relationship, became embroiled in an argument. Regrettably, this argument escalated to a devastating point, where Booth fatally shot Alexis White multiple times before turning the gun on himself, ending his own life. Responding to a 911 call, officers from the Orange Beach Police Department arrived at the scene only to find both individuals deceased from gunshot wounds.

Sheriff Matt Gentry expressed deep sadness and shock, describing Alexis White as a beloved member of the CCSO family. He emphasized the profound impact her loss had on the entire organization.

Chad Whaley, the CCSO Communications Director, shared that Deputy Kenneth Booth had no prior complaints filed against him and had not faced any disciplinary actions before this tragic incident. Booth’s behavior had not exhibited any warning signs that could have foreshadowed such a heartbreaking event.

The Orange Beach Police Department, represented by Investigations’ Lt. Trent Johnson, confirmed that the investigation into this tragic incident is ongoing. While details are still being collected, the community and law enforcement agencies are coming to terms with the loss of two individuals who had dedicated themselves to serving and protecting others.
