The manhunt intensifies as the U.S. Marshals and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) converge their efforts, and a sum of $5,000 is now being offered for information leading to the capture of wanted fugitive Aaron White, implicated in a distressing double homicide in Grainger County, WBIR reports.

In a recent development, both agencies are putting forward a $2,500 reward each, and while U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Tennessee David Jolley emphasized the severity of the crime by stating, “This double homicide is a very heinous crime and White is the prime suspect in this case, but from all the information we’ve been able to gather on him. He’s a very dangerous individual and it’s someone that needs to be taken off the streets as soon as possible,” his profile of White signals the urgent need for public vigilance, WATE elaborates.

Aaron White, a 34-year-old from Morristown, became the focus of the statewide and now national dragnet after the fatal incident on May 25 in Bean Station, with White potentially resorting to significantly altering his appearance, possibly by shaving his head and beard to evade recognition, the information provided by the TBI and the Marshal's Service suggests.

The urgency to apprehend White is underlined by the stark reminder that he is presumed armed and dangerous, the TBI has taken to social media to widen the net releasing a bulletin that exhorted the public for help, "The search for #TNMostWanted fugitive Aaron White continues. He’s wanted out of East TN on two counts of Criminal Homicide," citing the combined $5,000 reward from the U.S. Marshals and TBI and encouraging potential tipsters to reach out to 1-800-TBI-FIND, as laid out in their X post.
