We know.
Oh, we know who killed Alexa Stakely in a “car-jacking gone wrong.”
The police have a description of the suspects in her ”heroic” death, where she tried to stop carjackers from stealing her car with her six-year-old son in it.
But they won’t release it so the public can help actually provide tips to capture the individuals who participated in the carjacking leading to Stakely trying to protect her six-year-old son.
Call it black privilege.
Alexa Stakely was a 29-year-old white female living in Columbus, Ohio. Perhaps the city is the carjacking capital of the world, where left-leaning judges and prosecutors would rather protect black juveniles from the criminal justice system than ensure productive citizens like Ms. Stakely are kept safe from criminality.
Program to limit vehicle thefts, decrease juvenile detention expands in Columbus area courts, NBC4i.com, July 13, 2023
“In our courtroom as well as across the country, we have seen the impact,” said Lasheyl Stroud, the lead juvenile judge in Franklin County.
Stroud and other public officials trace the influx in vehicle thefts to videos on social media showing users how to steal cars.
“A lot of people in the community feel like nothing is being done at all in that these youth are being arrested and then they’re right back on the street within minutes and then in another car,” Stroud said. “That is simply not true.”
According to the court’s data, 63% of the juveniles charged in vehicle theft cases are detained until they appear before a judge.
Stroud said detaining a child accused of a crime is a last resort because of the negative effects it can have on the child. She said one night in detention can decrease their chance of graduating high school by 50%.
“If anything, you push children deeper in the system when you expose them whether it’s to confinement or to other youth who are the youth who should be detained based on community safety and safety to themselves,” Stroud said. “When you expose a youth who should not be there, to that environment and other youth, then you increase their chances of reoffending and coming back.”
Nearly one year to the date of the publication of this article, where we learn protecting primarily black or black juveniles from the criminal justice system is more important than protecting law-abiding citizens in Columbus, Ohio, Alexa Stakely was murdered… inevitably, we will learn her murderers were black juveniles.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — After a 29-year-old mother lost her life while trying to save her son from an attempted carjacking incident, her family is speaking out.
According to Columbus Police, at around 1:30 a.m. officers found a woman who had been injured near the intersection of Blue Knoll Drive and Annual Drive. Alexa Stakely just got off work and went to pick up her 6-year-old son from the babysitter’s. Stakely brought out her child, who was asleep, and placed him in the back seat. According to police she then returned to the apartment to retrieve her belongings.
Police say a suspect jumped into the car, which was left running and started to drive off. Stakely ran from the door and toward the car, screaming for her child, according to police. The car hit Stakely, throwing her to the ground and resulting in a fatal head wound.
Now, her family wants the community to know the type of woman she was.
We spoke with her two younger brothers, Hayden and Reed Swartz. They told NBC4 that she and her son were two peas in a pod. They did everything together. Many are calling her actions heroic, but her brothers say that’s just who she was.
Hayden and Reed said the only word they can use to describe this tragic incident is “unreal.” They all rushed to be by her side. They said they weren’t surprised by her actions after she saw the suspect get into her car and begin to drive away with her son sleeping in the back seat.
“She was always there for us as a kid when it came to learning. I had a speech impediment growing up. I think that’s where it sparked, it’s like she just was always loving and she always cared so much,” Reed said. “Words can’t describe what she does for people.”
“Alexa was just like an extremely outgoing, resilient person and a mother. And just her character was unmatched,” Hayden said.
Alexa was a daughter, sister, teacher and, perhaps most importantly, a mother. Her brothers said she was also extremely dedicated to her job as a speech and language pathologist at Canal Winchester Schools.
“It definitely reflected on how her mom nature just kicked into play,” Reed said. “Really just shows how nurturing she was to her boy.”
Both brothers said Alexa was a bright light and they’ll miss her. Right now, all they can do is remain positive for her son.
“Alexa would want us to be strong and love on him and just, you know, not be so sad and celebrate her life and what she did,” Hayden said.
Alexa Stakely didn’t deserve to die as she tried to protect her young son from criminals, the latter of whom are protected by elected officials and judges precisely because of the color of their skin and the content—or lack thereof—of their character.
On July 15, 2011, a girl I grew up with was murdered in Atlanta, Georgia because she was white and her black murderer wanted to kill as many white people as possible. It’s the only reason this website has persisted.
When white guilt finally recedes away and we elect leaders—statesman—into office who put the interests of the law-abiding first (people like Alexa Stakely), we can effectively deal with criminality overnight. We have gang databases in every major city, all attacked by our media-run state for being “racist” because of the nearly unanimous pattern of black and brown gang members, that could easily be utilized to mass arrest and incarcerate those who make our great metropolitan areas unsafe.
We either sit back and watch the slow decline of our nation proceed without interruption because we fear being called “racist” more than we do enacting policies that would immediately make life safer for law-abiding black and brown people, or we remember Alexa Stakely and the courage she showed in trying to protect her son from a carjacking by black juveniles. She was ready—and did—to lay down her life to ensure his safety.
Duty.
It’s the one word we owe our posterity now, or else the slow decline will continue unabated.
