"But one thing Miller never touched on in the Sports Illustrated story or the book is the person he murdered. A lengthy story from the New York Times reviewed an advanced copy of the book and detailed that Miller never names the victim or talks about the devastation the family dealt with from the loss of life.

That victim was a man named Edward David White, who at 18 was gunned down by Miller. White was walking toward his family’s rowhouse in a west Philadelphia neighborhood after his shift at a suburban diner when he was killed. Now, his family is speaking out.

White’s family told The Times they were “blindsided again” by Miller and were left grieving. They said they were unaware of the Sports Illustrated article or that Miller was publishing a book.

Family members told the paper that after seeing the SI article, Miller said he planned to reach out to the family. They have not heard from him. The main concern they have with the story and Miller’s book is that it takes no look at the life of White.

At the time of the shooting, White had a son who was 8 months old, and his girlfriend was pregnant with their daughter. They planned to marry.

The family is asking for White’s name and story to be included in the book before it publishes.

“You know his name, give him that respect, especially since you took his life,” Mariah Green, an elementary school teacher in Philadelphia who is a great-niece of White’s told the paper.

Josaphine Hobbs, the mother of White’s children, told the paper she dropped out of nursing school to raise her young son and daughter as a single mother.

“David wasn’t in a gang; he didn’t get into fights,” Hobbs told the outlet. “He got shot going home.”

White’s family told The Times it wants more than remorse from Miller, they are seeking some type of atonement. Anything along the lines of a scholarship in his name, financial reparations for White’s children from book profits, etc.

This is the right thing to do.
