Missing Milwaukee boy found safe, uncle charged: new video
MILWAUKEE – FOX6 News has obtained new videos showing the abduction of 7-year-old Jamal White before he was found safe.
What we know:
One shows the 7-year-old boy being snatched while riding a bike in front of his family home. The other shows the next day when his uncle opened fire on people trying to help.
The backstory:
Police said White was taken at gunpoint outside his home near 61st and Hustis around 7 p.m. on Friday. He was reported critically missing that night, and an Amber Alert was later issued.
Almost 24 hours after he had been taken, police confirmed he was found safe. The Amber Alert was then canceled. At this time, what led to his abduction – and eventual return – remains unclear.
What they’re saying:
One man, who wishes to remain unidentified, said the sound of White’s screams calling out for his father still pull at his heartstrings.

“I was just in shock,” he said. “You could literally help somebody and still be a target.”
New surveillance shows two people jumping out of a jeep. White, who was on a bike in front of his family home, tried to run when someone grabbed him and threw him in the car.
You can see another person running in the house.
“To hear that little boy scream out for his daddy and the way he sounded, it was like, ‘Hey, you need to get up and search around to see if you can find something,” the man said.
He said he and his 16-year-old drove to Hustis on Saturday morning to help out and tried to park.
“Soon as I was able to see this guy running, he turns his gun around and aims at us, shooting,” he said.
Dig deeper:
27-year-old Jamel White, the boy’s uncle, was arrested. He told detectives he was scared for his family.

“It shook my son a little bit and it kind of put a bad taste in my mouth about helping,” the man said.
Nobody was injured in the incident.
It should be noted that Jamel White was not charged with his disappearance. He was charged with two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
What’s next:
His bond was set at $20,000. He is due back in court on Tuesday, July 22.
The Milwaukee Police Department said the 7-year-old was released to Child Protective Services.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
