Las Vegas murder suspect Troy White surrenders in Arizona

Rest in Peace Echo Lucas. Your memory will live on through your children. (photo: facebook)

Las Vegas murder suspect Troy White surrenders in Arizona for murdering his estranged wife in cold blood. He also shot a 28 year old man who was at the home and is now hospitalized.

All of this happened right in front of the couples five children ranging in age from 6 months old to 9 years old. And it was the oldest child who ran from their Summerlin home, located near Buffalo and Alta Drive, to a neighbors house to summon help as his mother lay dying from her wounds. She died shortly after from her injuries.

According to Amber Gaines, Echo’s mother, the relationship between Echo and Vegas Murder suspect Troy White was not good. She said, “There was a lot of pushing and shoving. She wasn’t real happy so she asked him for a divorce”.

Then the frightening and very threatening text messages started from the 44 year old Troy White to Echo.

Gaines spoke to 13 Action News and recalled that the messages were, “Threatening, horrible, horrible messages. ‘I’m going to kill you. I’m going to kill the kids”

Troy White was extremely jealous of his estranged wife’s blossoming relationship with another man, Amber Gaines said,

“He felt that if I can’t have you, nobody else is going to have you. And he felt that this man was her lover, and if I can’t have you, this man can’t have her.”

Now the couples five children are left without a mother and essentially without a father since it is hoped that Troy White will spend the rest of his life behind bars for so callously snuffing out the life of the beautiful 29 year old and mother of of 5 who had so much to live for.

Amber Gaines summed up what she wants the future to hold for Troy White,

Life in prison is exactly what he deserves, and what he will get. And he will live with his own demons and he will stay there and hopefully die there

An account has been set-up to help cover funeral costs and is most needed to help provide care for the 5 children. The account is in Echo’s maiden name, Lucas. Donations can be made at any Wells Fargo branch.

A service will held on August 4th at 1pm Potters House Christian Church located at 6720 W Sahara Ave, Las Vegas NV 89146.

Troy White’s court appearance is expected to take place Monday morning in Arizona.

“And he felt that this man was her lover”… What… he was ASSUMING that he was sleeping with her!!!? They were living in HIS house… She was selfish!! Why cant women go out of the marriage with dignity and NOT start sleeping with other men until the divorce is final?!!! Yes, Troy should have controlled himself while his wife was cheating on him in HIS house, but by no means is Echo an angel… she was very controlling and she hated being a mother. She would constantly pawn her kids off on to other people, Especially Troy so that she could be the center of attention.

  My thoughts are angel or not, selfish or not – no one deserves to die like that.
  I am always interested in hearing other people’s opinions and 100% believe that everyone has a right to express their thoughts. .
  Nevada has the dubious honor of having of being “tops” in domestic violence so it’s just sad.
  - C Jw1007
    I fully agree with Zebras comment. No, nobody has the right to take another persons life, but if she had resolved one relationship before getting into the next it I’m sure it would have turned out much differently for this “wonderful, perfect angel”.
    - Carlpagano2001
      She was a whore in my opinion
      - Amberskiian
        You sound like a disgusting person yourself.
      - JESSICA TEJEDA

        U ppl make me sick!!! Godley ppl ur not!! If u were u would know what the bible said about abuser and Zebra, JESSICA and let’s not forget Carlpagano all three of u are in that category..Let me give u a refresher course on the bible-
        Proverbs 10:6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
        Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
        Matthew 5:21,22 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
        But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire
        Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
        James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
        James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
        Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
        And by the way Many passages in the Bible speak out on the issue of violence, and GOD’s attitude toward those that repeatedly use violence: The Bible condemns violence and violent men
        Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
        Zephaniah 1:9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
        Psalms 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
        Malachi 2:16-17 “I hate a man’s covering his wife with violence, as well as with his garment.” says the Lord Almighty….”You have wearied the Lord with your words.” “How have we wearied him?” you ask. By saying “all who do evil are good in the eyes of the Lord, and he is pleased with them,” or “Where is the God of justice!!!!!!!!!
      - zebra828
        It sounds like we both knew her well…
      - JESSICA TEJEDA
        apparently so!!
      - zebra828
        “InMemory” has to be her mom… you see how violent she is? Kinda psychopathic if you ask me…
      - Anamarie254
        I would like to know who This Rocky person is? What do you mean by orchesrated the scenario? Do tell!
    - Anamarie
      I can see your point. But sometimes people don’t think. And maybe she never thought this would happen. I feel sorry for the kids she left behind.its very sad.
- InMemory
  @ Zebra828—-HOW PATHETIC!!! You are a sorry piece of s**t!!! Who gives a damn what she did in her personal life, you weren’t taking care of her babies, were you??!! How dare you judge her without knowing her! It’s scumbag people like you that make this world an ugly place!!! And as for the dirtbag that couldn’t handle the situation like a MAN, I hope they take care of his ass in prison……if you get my drift!
  - zebra828
    I do know her… I knew them both. I’ve known her since even before she got married to Troy. She was still in the process of getting divorced from her previous husband when she was eye-balling Troy. She even had 2 OTHER kids that she lost custody of before the 5 she had now, because the state deemed her unfit. I know you are only looking at this situation from the basis of someone reading a news article… and you only know what the media tells you… There was never any beating or raping going on. It was all lies that she told about him to build her case to leave him for another man, and get child support from him because he had a good job. Again, you are an outsider… most people who knew them both would say, “it’s too bad it came to this… but she did have SOMETHING coming…” Everyone who knows Troy knows he is a great guy and treated her and their kids great. He bend over backwards to please her, and in the end, she grew tired of him and wanted to jump ship to a younger, no job having, abandoned his own wife and kids loser! The sad thing is that Echo brought all this on for what? Did Joe really think that Echo looked at him as her “soul mate”?!! What a laugh!! She would have dropped him too when she grew tired of him!! Thats what she did. There was no future in that relationship… just a new toy to play with.
    - InMemory
      Yeah you sound like a jealous hatin’ a$$ b!tch! Why air her business to the public! They don’t need to know her personal life! This is about a young mother whose life was taken…forget what she did or didn’t do…she was human, as are we! People make mistakes…we are Human!!! But what he did was no mistake! This was the act of premeditation- a weak individual that couldn’t control the situation so he went crazy and did something horrible! Something so selfish, that now these poor, innocent, beautiful babies have to endure for the rest of their lives! But it’s okay right, because she was a “whore”!!! It’s okay that these babies don’t have their mommy anymore because their daddy went crazy!! Nonsense….she didn’t deserve this no matter what she did or didn’t do!!!! Let me ask you this, how would you feel if this happened to someone in your family?!! Even if they were the way you “described” her to be! Would you still be saying the same shit???? I highly doubt it!!!
      - zebra828
        Yep… You’re Joe alright…
      - zebra828
        Jealous!!? Of what…? Your ability to jump into bed with your friends wife after he was kind enough to let you stay there in the first place!!? Your ability to split up families effortlessly?! You’re right… That is a skill I have yet to master as you obviously have!!! Backstabbing faggot!! He should have shot you in the junk!!!
      - InMemory
        Lmao- you people are sad…very very sad!! You have no clue as to who I am….but I can assure you both that I am not anyone related to Echo! Just have some Respect for her children and stop slandering their mothers name…do it for them! No one else!!! They don’t deserve this!
    - Deanie18
      I don’t know who you are but leave me the hell out of it!!!! If you know so much about all of them then you obviously know me. Why would you make it look like I’m “Zebra” you cold hearted person. I am having a hard time raising my 2 kids alone and you are creating drama for me. I have people harassing me because of what you are saying. Please just stop! You said what YOU needed to say…now let it go. Let it all go. Please for my sake and the sake of my children.
      In case you didn’t figure it out….I’m the abandoned wife with kids!
      - InMemory
        People will do anything to try and hurt anyone- this world is sick! I wish the best for you and your kids!! I personally don’t know any of them and didn’t want to know anything further about te situation, I just felt that too much unnecessary information was brought to the attention of the public and it’s pitiful!
      - InMemory
        Hey Deanie18- next time you want to act like 2 different people when writing, Watch your punctuation and grammar! It’s so similar it gives you away!!! And I am sure you are His ex wife!! It would explain why you are bad mouthing this woman- just as I said before—JEALOUS A$$ HATER!!!! Go worry about your life and let this poor girl rest!!
      - Deanie18
        Since you know so much…go talk to Joe!
      - InMemory
        I know that you are Zebra and now acting like Deanie!! You must be very stupid but I’m not!
      - Deanie18
        Joe has a friend tracking down the url for zebra. Its not me. You have no life. From the beginning I have ask that me and my kids be kept out of all of this. I would never say anything about someone that cant defend themselves. I don’t understand what Troy was thinking…Echo and I were friends for years. If you really don’t know anyone involved then stay out of it. But my guess is your a liar and are one of the low lives that have been inboxing me on fb. In the end the truth will be exposed and you will feel like the interfering problem starter that you are. Until then have a great life harassing people.
      - InMemory
        I surely wasn’t harassing anyone! I was defending a waman who can’t defend herself! It’s sad that anyone would talk so bad about a mother that was murdered in cold blood! And definitely not a problem starter sweetie, reread everything that was said! Oh wait, you should know half of it, you wrote it! And as far as Facebook, that’s for immature gossiping individuals with no life! I have a successful career, I don’t have time for that! BTW, I don’t even know your name. Your right about one thing though, I am an outsider and I have only know what the media has said, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t defend a innocent victim!!!

      She should have finalized the divorce before screwing someone else. If a new man suddenly jumped in the picture to play Daddy to my kids, while the wound of separation was still raw, I would have flipped out too. No weapons. I just would have given the asshole a royal ass beating. She was a nympho and could not help it. Troy should have just used his fists and walked away. It is the kids who suffer now.
    - SuckerPunch
      You are right on the money Zebra. Any respectful mother would have thought of her kids first, not filling her bed to someone else. That was disrespectful to her kids and the father. A man puts his heart and soul into what he belives he will have for the rest of his life…. Only to be given the boot and have a strange man putting his own baby down to sleep in the crib, instead of him ? That is bullshit and you all know it.
      Troy should have not thrown his life away because of that nympho. He should have whooped that other guys ass real good. Break a couple bones so the punk would have remembered him for the rest of his life. Should have grabbed the kids, take them away from the whorehouse, and move on. Oh well. Echo ain’t getting laid where she is at now.
Amberskiian
how dare anybody call a deceased mother.Have respect for her family and surviving children. I did not know her, nor did I have to. she could have slept with the entire vegas valley and never would’ve deserved to be called a whore following her death. she was somebody’s mother, and also someons baby. Have some respect. God bless her and her family.To Hell with that murderous monster.

Oh and Jessica, what a coward a$$ pu$$y you are to talk shit and run your mouth about someone that can’t even defend themself! I’m sure if she were still alive your little punk a$$ mouth wouldn’t be being so slick to her face! You’re the type of chick that gets their A$$ beat for talking bulls$it! Id love to run into on the street because I’d smash your f**!ng face into the ground! Little SMUTT!!!
- zebra828
  You are taking this kinda person aren’t you? You must be her mother trying to defend your daughter’s lies and unfaithfulness… It would be so embarrassing for you for people to know the real Echo, wouldn’t it! Yeah… your her mother…
  - InMemory
    You are a sorry son of a bitch, no I’m not her mother ! I just think its sad that a scum bag like yourself could actually sit behind a computer and talk trash on someone after they were brutally murdered! It is very sad and pathetic!! Your parents should be ashamed of themselves for raising an inconsiderate, heartless bastard as yourself!! And by the way, I’m sure her mother could care less what the public or anyone thinks of her daughter and wouldn’t be wasting her time on reading the evil shit you idiots are writing on a news article!!
    - zebra828
      Oh… Then this must be Joe… you backstabbing faggot! There is no other reason you would be so violently replying to all of these comments defending your “soulmate”! You really think she was going to stay with you for the long haul? A jobless bum who won’t take care your own kids, but all of a sudden you want to play daddy with her kids?! You are pathetic!!
      - InMemory
        Nope not Joe- I just feel you people crossed the line and put personal business of a slain mother on the Internet for random people to see!! It’s disgusting and cruel…
