Man Accused of Stabbing Walmart Employee and Plowing into High School Students, Killing One

A 24-year-old California man, identified as Austin Eis, is accused of stabbing a Walmart employee and intentionally plowing his car into a group of high school students, killing a 15-year-old boy and injuring two others. Eis was charged with murder, attempted murder, attempted robbery, resisting an executive officer, burglary, and two counts of exhibiting a firearm in a threatening manner. Witnesses reported a white Toyota Camry without a front bumper and provided the license plate number to the police. After fleeing from Walmart in the car, Eis drove to Camarillo and was involved in a domestic dispute with family members before continuing to Thousand Oaks, where the crash occurred. Investigators have concluded that the collision was intentional, and Eis had earlier driven to Thousand Oaks to "scope out the area." The motive behind Eis's actions is unknown, and it is reported that Eis had not yet been arrested. One of Wesley Welling's friends, who was hospitalized with injuries, described him as loving and always putting others before himself.
