CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Lakewood man accused of shooting and killing his wife Feb. 9 in the couple’s home while their 2-year-old daughter was in another room pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
Jason White, 38, is being held on $1 million bond on aggravated murder, murder and felonious assault charges in the death of his wife, Stacy White.
Police found Stacy White, 36, dead on a bed in the bedroom of the home on Plover Street near Madison and Halstead avenues, according to police.
Investigators seized eight guns from the home, court records say.
A man who described himself in a 911 call as Jason White’s father told a dispatcher that his son shot his wife.
“He’s there, and he’s got a gun,” the man said.
He also said that his son used a Glock .40 in the shooting and that he had a shotgun in the home. The grandfather told the dispatcher that he was going to take his granddaughter back to his home.
The child was not hurt and is currently in her grandparents’ custody, Lakewood police Sgt. Jim Ward said.
