What was the shirt's color again?

A Chronicle report on Houston's latest murder contains this less-than-useful description of the suspect:

The shooter is described as a 19-year-old male, who is about 6 foot 2 with a short fade haircut. He was last seen wearing a white multi-colored pullover shirt.

The second teen, possibly a juvenile, was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.

So, was the shirt white, or was the shirt multi-colored?

We know the Chronicle frequently declines to post descriptive information about suspects because of concerns over "racial scorekeeping." Is the newspaper now also working to discourage the intolerant practice of shirt-color scorekeeping?
