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.

Family asking for help after plane crash destroys car
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Days after a small plane crashed into a Murphy Canyon neighborhood, killing all six people on board, survivors on the ground are facing the emotional and financial toll of the disaster — including residents whose vehicles were destroyed by flaming jet fuel that poured through the streets. Home security footage from a Ring camera captured the moment burning fuel flowed down a gutter, igniting cars along Taussig Street. One of those vehicles was a Kia Soul owned by Nichole Crone, who lives in the neighborhood with her husband, a U.S. Navy service member, and their three children. Temporary fence set up around site of deadly plane crash in San Diego 'We got woken up about 4 a.m. by our son,' Crone said. 'He sleeps with his window open, and he heard the tires on the car popping. That's what woke him up — that's what woke us up.' Crone requested her face not be shown for privacy reasons but wanted her story told. Just moments after a Cessna 550 struck power lines and stadium lights before crashing into a home on Sample Street, Crone and her family watched as her parked car was engulfed in flames. 'A lot of people were panicking, telling us to get out, to leave, because they thought the car was going to explode,' she said. 'So we were panicking.' 'Debris everywhere still burning': Family whose house was hit by plane shares what they saw Crone said her vehicle is typically not parked on that side of the street — except on trash days. 'It was trash day, and normally our car would be right in front of our house,' she said. 'But our trash cans had to go out the night before.' Adding to their hardship, Crone said her insurance provider, USAA, recently informed her that it would not cover the full cost of the vehicle. 'They want to give us like $15,885, minus our $1,000 deductible, and we still owe like $19,000,' she said. VIDEO: Fireball erupts as plane crashes in San Diego The family depends on two vehicles: Crone uses her car for Instacart deliveries to supplement their income and to transport one of her children, who has autism, to several therapy appointments each week. Their other vehicle is used by her husband for commuting to Coronado. 'We're stressed out,' Crone said. 'We just got that second vehicle two months ago. We're already struggling with both car payments, and now we lost a vehicle and still have to make payments on it.' A friend has started an online fundraiser to help the family recover. Crone said she hopes the insurance company reconsiders the payout, given the circumstances. 'It wasn't only us that this happened to,' she said. 'But for us specifically, it's just hard to understand why insurance wouldn't pay off the car in full. This wasn't our fault.' Despite the high mileage on the car, Crone said she and her husband are continuing discussions with insurance representatives in hopes of reaching a resolution.

Palisades Wildfire Prompts Nurse To Offer 'Not For Sale – Ever' Corvette for Trade: 'Something Compact—but With Soul'
'Given the insurance claim denial and limited retirement income, I'm fighting to rebuild my life from the ground up, and I don't need any senior-age Corvette-driving nurse image judgement distractions.'— Pamela Jane Nye PACIFIC PALISADES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2025 / / -- The license plate bracket said 'NOT FOR SALE – EVER.' But that was January 7, 2025. On January 8, 2025, a devastating Pacific Palisades wildfire swept through the hillside home of Pamela Jane Nye, a 77-year-old acclaimed nurse, philanthropist, and nonprofit CEO. In its wake, Nye lost nearly everything: her home, all content, her business including its' nurse-education production studio—and eventually, her trust in the 25-year insurance policy she thought would protect her. Now, the woman who once vowed her pristine 2004 Chevrolet Corvette would never be for sale has made a bittersweet reversal. 'Yes, I'm open to selling—or preferably swapping—the Corvette,' Nye revealed in a recent interview. 'I need something more compact, more efficient, and yes… something with soul.' A practical pivot after Nye's loss is more than a transportation matter—it's symbolic of a life pivot. With her nonprofit work continuing despite the loss, and an insurance claim initially delayed and denied, Nye says she's making decisions based on 'survival, perception, and practicality.' The car, a low-mileage, showroom-quality 2004 Corvette coupe, has spent most of its life under cover, used primarily for weekend drives. Nye bought it from a tearful engineer whose pregnant wife with twins was the motivating factor. 'Cost, looks, and condition made it a smart buy,' Nye explained. 'While I'm known for conservative spending, I had just sold my early nurse-education business and decided, for once, to buy myself something special. So I got the Corvette... and two King Charles Spaniel puppies.' She adds with a smile, 'Yes, I had a practical car too, but the Corvette was just my weekend joy on wheels, 'But now, Nye adds, 'practicality trumps sentiment.' But following the wildfire, sentiment now bows to necessity. With limited retirement income and no payout from her insurance provider, Nye is rebuilding her life from the ground up. 'I don't need the image distractions of being a senior-age nurse driving a Corvette,' she says candidly. 'It's not me anymore.' Researching Nye's trade for a 'compact car with soul,' a quick Google search identified the '2025 Kia Soul.' From there, there was a list of comparable models: Jeep Renegade, Mazda CX-3, Buick Encore, Honda HR-V, Honda Fit, Hyundai Elantra GT, and the Kia Sportage. Still, Nye isn't ready to pin her hopes on any one option, stating, 'I'm not going to get all excited about something that might never happen,' she says. 'I'll consider a thoughtful, cost-comparable trade. That's all.' A life still in motion with both personal and professional loss challenges, Nye isn't slowing down. She continues to teach as an Associate Professor at UCLA's School of Nursing and mentors the Los Angeles Nurse Network members. She leads Operation Scrubs, Inc., her nonprofit devoted to global nurse advocacy and continuing education. She's also pursuing legislation requiring insurance policies to disclose exclusions at the beginning of the policy's Declaration page and do so in simple, understandable language, not legalese. Interested parties—buyers or those with a thoughtful trade proposal—are invited to email Nye at [email protected], using 'Nurse Car Swap Interest' in the subject line.
