Jamie White

Jamie White, a 36-year-old white male journalist for the outlet InfoWars, had stayed late at work on the night of March 9, 2025. Shortly after he arrived home at the Chandelier Apartments on Douglas Street in South Austin, Texas, a 911 call reported a shooting. At approximately 11:56 p.m., Austin Police Department officers arrived and found White lying in the parking lot with severe trauma. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:19 a.m. on March 10.

Investigators believe White was shot and killed when he interrupted a group of people who were burglarizing his Kia Soul. An expandable baton and a 9mm bullet casing were recovered at the scene. According to one report, White had been shot in the head. Detectives learned the suspects fled after the shooting and began piecing together evidence from the crime scene and the surrounding area. The investigation uncovered that the group had a history of stealing Kia vehicles, which had become a target of thefts nationwide due to a trend on social media.

Using surveillance footage, eyewitness statements, and cell tower data from other recent Kia thefts, police identified four suspects. The first arrest was made on April 30, 2025, when police took 17-year-old Eloy Adrian Camarillo into custody. During questioning, Camarillo admitted that he and his associates had been trying to steal White’s car to take it for a "joyride" and that White was shot during the confrontation.

Over the next month, police arrested the three remaining suspects. A 15-year-old juvenile was arrested on May 5, and a second 15-year-old was arrested on May 20. The final suspect, 17-year-old Rodney Charles Hill, was taken into custody on May 27. On Hill's phone, investigators reportedly found a recording of a rap song with lyrics that appeared to reference the killing.

All four suspects were charged with capital murder. In a statement, White’s sister, Kelly Kneale, thanked the police for their work. "The arrest of the individuals responsible for his death is a step towards accountability, but it does not bring him back," she said. "No matter the outcome of their trials, our grief remains, and we will continue to carry that pain for the rest of our lives." As of May 2025, police did not anticipate making any more arrests in the case but stated the investigation was ongoing.
