BREAKING: Second Suspect Charged in Jamal White Kidnapping Case — Fabian Johnson Identified as Armed Participant
MILWAUKEE, WI — In a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the kidnapping of Jamal White, a second suspect has now been formally charged. Fabian Johnson has been identified and charged as one of the armed individuals who forcefully abducted White from his home on July 11, 2025, in a case that has drawn widespread attention and public concern across the Milwaukee area.
According to newly released court records obtained by WISN 12 News, the original suspect, Corey Williams — who has already been in custody and reportedly admitted to acting as the getaway driver — implicated Fabian Johnson as one of two men armed with guns who exited a Jeep and stormed White’s home during the terrifying abduction.
The Abduction
The ordeal began around July 11, when authorities responded to a call at Jamal White’s residence, where he was reportedly kidnapped at gunpoint by multiple assailants. Surveillance footage, witness statements, and early forensic evidence indicated that a dark-colored Jeep had been used during the crime.
Corey Williams, who was arrested shortly after the incident, cooperated with authorities during questioning. Williams admitted to driving the getaway vehicle and, in his confession, named Fabian Johnson as one of the gunmen who forcibly removed Jamal White from the home at gunpoint and helped load him into the waiting vehicle.
New Charges Against Fabian Johnson
Following Williams’ statement and additional corroborating evidence gathered over the past week, law enforcement formally filed charges against Fabian Johnson, who is now being held on multiple counts, including:
- Kidnapping while armed
- Felon in possession of a firearm
- Aggravated burglary
- Conspiracy to commit a felony
Authorities say Johnson, along with an unnamed second armed suspect, entered the home aggressively and participated directly in the abduction. Law enforcement has not yet disclosed whether the third suspect has been positively identified or apprehended.
Jamal White was eventually located after an intense multi-agency search effort. While specific details about his condition and location at the time of recovery have not been made public, officials have confirmed he is alive and recovering and has been cooperating with investigators.
Ongoing Investigation and Community Reaction
The kidnapping of Jamal White sent shockwaves through the Milwaukee community, triggering fears about rising violent crime and concerns about targeted attacks. With a second arrest made and charges filed, there’s a renewed sense of progress — though authorities emphasize that the investigation is far from over.
“This case has been a top priority,” a police spokesperson said Monday. “We are aggressively pursuing leads, and we will not rest until everyone involved is brought to justice.”
Law enforcement officials continue to investigate the motive behind the abduction and are exploring whether the incident may have ties to gang activity, past disputes, or other criminal networks.
Public Safety Reminder
Officials are asking anyone with additional information related to Fabian Johnson, Corey Williams, or any potential third suspect to contact Milwaukee Police or reach out anonymously to Crime Stoppers. Every tip, they say, could be critical in completing the investigation and securing a conviction for those responsible.
Looking Ahead
As the legal process moves forward, both Johnson and Williams are expected to appear in court for bond hearings and preliminary proceedings in the coming days. Prosecutors are reportedly preparing for a potentially complex case that may involve multiple charges, witnesses, and forensic testimony.
Meanwhile, the White family and community continue to heal from the trauma of the ordeal, grateful for Jamal’s safe recovery but still deeply affected by the violent circumstances of his abduction.
This is a developing story. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available regarding the charges, the ongoing investigation, and court proceedings.
