APD to announce additional arrest in homicide of Infowars employee
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin police plan to provide information about an additional arrest in the homicide of an Infowars employee. The incident happened at the Chandelier Apartments in March. Officers responded to the complex in the 2300 block of Douglas Street — near East Oltorf Street and Interstate 35 — around 11:57 p.m. March 9. When they arrived, they found a man with trauma in the complex's parking lot, APD said at the time. Police previously identified the victim as Jamie White, an Infowars employee. According to APD, the initial investigation showed White was attacked after interrupting people burglarizing his green Kia Soul in the parking lot of his apartment complex. At the time, Infowars posted: 'Jamie was a light we were blessed to experience as much as we did. He's a one-of-a-kind man who poured his devotion in anything he did.' Vehicle burglary led to deadly shooting of Infowars employee, affidavit says Earlier in May, APD announced the arrest of one of four suspects connected to the deadly shooting. That person was identified as 17-year-old Eloy Adrian Camarillo, according to an affidavit. He was booked into the Travis County Jail on May 1 on a charge of capital murder by terror threat/other felony, with bond set at $250,000, court records show. According to the affidavit, the suspects were approaching 'Kia-brand vehicles' before successfully breaking into the green Kia Soul. Court documents note that APD 'knows that car thieves frequently target Kia vehicles due to manufacturing defects that make them easy targets for auto theft.' Investigators say the suspects also allegedly stole other Kias between March 9 and March 11. Austin police plan to hold a news conference about the additional arrest at 11:30 a.m. KXAN will update this story as we learn more. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

London Heathrow Airport shutdown impacts Bay Area travelers Friday
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A large overnight fire broke out near London's Heathrow Airport, impacting hundreds of thousands of travelers across the world on Friday, including those in the Bay Area. A large explosion at an electrical substation 2 miles from Heathrow knocked out power as well as backup power to the airport, according to UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. The cause of the fire is under investigation. London-bound passengers at San Francisco International Airport were stranded Friday morning after a flight departed overnight and had to make a U-turn once Heathrow was shut down. Now, they are right back where they started in San Francisco and scrambling to rebook their flights to London. Disgruntled passengers from the red-eye flight could be seen collecting their baggage at the carousel after wasting several hours on the 'plane to nowhere.' 'We were probably roughly halfway across the journey until we were notified by the pilot that we had to turn back to San Francisco,' passenger Jamie White said after the return to SFO. 'So here we are. I almost got home. Here I am again.' Southwest cuts more than 100 jobs at 4 airports, including San Jose Other passengers said they received hotel vouchers from the airline. Heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports for international travel, is expected to remain closed for the rest of Friday. 'We expect significant disruption over the coming days, and passengers should not travel to the airport under any circumstances until the airport reopens,' the airport said.

Alex Jones Wastes No Time Blaming Multiple Enemies for Infowars Star's Murder
Alex Jones, the founder of Infowars who falsely claimed the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting was staged by activists looking to curtail gun rights, says Infowars reporter Jamie White was murdered in Austin, Texas on Monday and he blamed billionaire financier George Soros, among others, for the death. Police have not yet named White as the victim but the Austin Police Department said officers responded to an emergency call at 11:57 p.m. on Sunday to find a man with 'obvious signs of trauma' who was taken to hospital where he died, according to CBS Austin. White's sister Kelly Kneale told the Daily Mail that her brother was shot while someone was trying to break into his car outside his apartment complex. She said it is not believed to have been a 'targeted attack.' The Daily Beast has reached out to the Austin Police Department for comment. In an online broadcast, Jones revealed White as the victim and attributed his death to Soros, Joe Biden, Al Green, Hakeem Jeffries, 'globalists,' the Democratic Party, and more generally the policies of the Travis County D.A., Jose Garza, whom he referred to as the 'Soros D.A.' The Texas Justice and Public Safety PAC, funded by Soros, spent about $450,000 in support of left-leaning Garza as he campaigned for district attorney in 2020, according to state campaign-finance disclosures. Crime in Austin has flatlined in recent years but violent crime is still way up compared to pre-pandemic numbers: In 2019, Austin Police Department (APD) reported 36 homicides. In 2024, APD reported 70. Across the U.S., over the same time period, homicide rates in 2024 are slightly down on 2019 numbers. Jones, in an angry diatribe released on X following the death of White, which is Austin's eighth homicide of the year, accused the city of having 'turned the police into social workers.' He said that parts of Austin, where Infowars is based, were 'like a war zone' at night. Jones said: 'Crime is very, very bad here in Austin… it has just exploded the last four years.' Speaking of White's death he said: 'You saw a little clip from the newscast about this in the early morning hours, it's just become so routine.' Jones then attacked Garza as a 'leftist DA' and 'an actual communist' adding, 'Soros put him in, that is on record, he financed his run.' Jones concluded: 'So to the globalists… you murdered Jamie White. You opened the door, you created the climate. You created the conditions on purpose. George Soros, Alexander Soros, you murdered Jamie White. Joe Biden, you murdered Jamie White. The Democratic Party, Hakeem Jeffries, Al Green, you murdered Jamie White and we're not going to forget him.' Jones filed for bankruptcy in 2022 after being ordered to pay out a staggering $1.3 billion to bereaved families over his false claims about Sandy Hook and other mass school shootings. Following the 2012 shooting, which killed 20 children and six educators in Newton, Connecticut, Jones repeatedly told his followers that the tragedy was staged by 'crisis actors' who were looking to enact stricter gun policies. The satirical website The Onion has sought to buy Infowars to turn it into a satirical version of the platform, but faces being outbid by a group linked to Jones.
