InfoWars reporter Jamie White was gunned down back on March 11, 2025, outside his South Austin apartment.
According to police, he confronted a group of teens who were trying to steal his Kia. That confrontation turned deadly.
The case made waves when it first broke, but now, with four suspects arrested and new details emerging, it’s reopening a much-needed conversation about crime, justice, and who’s really being protected.

Among those charged with capital murder: 17-year-olds Rodney Charles Hill and Eloy Adrian Camarillo. Two 15-year-olds were also arrested earlier this month.
Police say the group had a history of targeting Kias, and were in fact driving a stolen Kia Soul when they showed up that night.
It’s part of a broader trend of car thefts sweeping cities across the country—something social media made worse thanks to viral “challenges” that showed how easy it was to steal certain models.
Critics are putting the spotlight on Travis County District Attorney José Garza. Frankly, the numbers don’t look great for him.
A KVUE investigation found that since 2019, the number of criminal cases rejected by Garza’s office has jumped 296%.
Of those cases, only 3% ever got refiled under different charges.
Law enforcement officers work day and night to make arrests, and then… poof. Cases vanish before they even make it to a judge.
Garza, who started his second term in January, defends his approach as a move toward “equal justice.”
But to many in Austin—especially the officers on the ground—his policies feel more like a green light for criminals.
Texas law allows for 17-year-olds to be tried as adults, and both Hill and Camarillo are facing the full weight of capital murder charges.
Depending on how the case unfolds, the 15-year-olds could face adult charges too. But given Garza’s track record, there’s a lot of concern over whether justice will truly be served.
InfoWars and other conservative voices have already warned that Garza’s “soft-on-crime” stance could mean lighter consequences than the community expects—or deserves.
Supporters of the DA say he’s trying to prevent wrongful prosecutions and focus on real evidence. They argue that fairness should come first.
Sure. But what about fairness for victims?
What about the message this sends to the next group of teens tempted to steal a car?
This is a story about a justice system that seems more interested in social experiments than safety.
It’s about a city caught between reform and reality.
If Garza wants to show that his version of justice still includes justice for the innocent, this is his chance.
But if the past is any indicator, don’t hold your breath.
