Authorities in Austin have arrested a second 17-year-old suspect in connection with the March killing of InfoWars reporter Jamie White. In total, four teenage suspects—two 17-year-olds, and two 15-year-olds—are suspects in the case.
Jamie White was shot late Sunday night on March 9 and found lying in the parking lot of the Chandelier Apartments on Douglas Street. Emergency responders transported him to the hospital, where he died the following afternoon.
Police say White may have encountered the suspects while they were attempting to steal his vehicle, a Kia Soul. Officers responding to the scene noted that the car’s window had been shattered and there were signs of a struggle inside, including what appeared to be blood from a cut.
Detective Jason Jones, the lead investigator in the case, said the suspects had used a black Kia Soul that had been reported stolen from Kyle, Texas. That vehicle was later found abandoned in South Austin on March 10. Jones said investigators reviewed surveillance video and discovered the suspects had arrived at the scene in a different stolen vehicle—a silver Kia Soul.
Jones said investigators used a combination of license plate readers, cellphone tracking data, and information from the stolen vehicles to identify the four suspects. All are reportedly from the Austin area, reports KVUE.
The first suspect, Eloy Adrian Camarillo, 17, was taken into custody on April 30. A 15-year-old male was arrested on May 5, followed by another 15-year-old male on May 20. The most recent arrest, 17-year-old Rodney Charles Hill, occurred on May 27.
"We believe this is a very unfortunate and tragic series of senseless events leading to [White's death], involving the four individuals who obviously have no value for human life," said Jones. He added that investigators do not believe White was specifically targeted by the suspects.
