But in this case, they are actually saying that they think he shot her.
Do you have a source for this? I don't think it's true that they are "actually saying that they think he shot her."
All the legit sources say some variation of this:

A felony murder charge indicates the victim died while the accused was committing another dangerous felony, even if the accused did not intend to kill the victim or cause his or her death.

I’m going by articles like this:
“A prisoner who prompted a nationwide manhunt when he disappeared from an Alabama jail this spring has been charged with killing the corrections official. Casey White, 38, has been indicted on a murder charge for the shooting death of Vicky White,”
You may be right though, as it states further in the article they’re not saying who pull the trigger. But reading that made it sound like they said he killed her.

It was clearly explained in this thread and in several articles from legit sources what felony murder is and why Casey White is being charged with it.

Find just one legit source where "they" are saying that they think he shot her.
Alabama has a Felony Murder Rule. If a person commits a crime and someone else dies in the process they can be charged with Felony Murder. In the state of Alabama felony murder rule has been codified in Alabama Code § 13A-6-2(a)(3). It provides that when a person commits various crimes and "in the course of and in furtherance of the crime" another is killed, then the perpetrator is guilty of murder, a "Class A Felony", the punishment of which is not less than 10 years nor more than 99 years in prison, or life in prison. If any aggravating circumstances were present, the penalty is death or life imprisonment.
Many states have this criminal statute on the books. The attorney in this video explains it quite well.
Alabama law doesn't apply in Evansville, Indiana, which is where she died.
I'm well aware that she died in Indiana. Regardless, "Casey White has been indicted for felony murder in connection to her death, according to Lauderdale County Circuit Court documents. The indictment alleges White, while committing first-degree escape, "caused the death of Vicky White," who authorities previously said killed herself during a car chase on May 9 after authorities found the pair in Indiana. White was served his arrest warrant Monday at the state prison where he's being held in Bessemer, Alabama, Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly said in a news release Tuesday."

Yes, and so the legal argument here is that because he was a fugitive, escaped from prison, and she shot herself while he was escaped, he's responsible.
Even though the death didn't happen in the jurisdiction of the court.
The argument is flawed. I can't see it making it to trial or standing up if somehow it does. Strictly from a jurisdiction standpoint.
If Indiana wants to charge him.. Better footing, though, then the argument could be made that he was not in the custody of Indiana and there is no Indiana law against him escaping an Alabama prison.
It doesn’t matter to him: he isn’t going to get the death penalty and a while back he told his attorneys that he needs the structure and the healthcare of the prison.
He said that he can not function in the society due to his extensive mental diseases without medication.
He can’t get a job where he could afford to pay for a healthcare and those medications.
In prison it is free for him.
The medications make him pleasant to be around.
He is content to be imprisoned for life

If that's true, why did he arrange an escape?
What I can't figure, is how on earth did Vicky think it all would end? Was this her way of flaming out from a life she found boring and lacking in companionship? We'll never know.
