Black-on-white homicides far outnumber white-on-black homicides. That disparity does not change the duty to report each case fairly and accurately. Some white-on-black killings are legally justified. Some are accidental. Others are crimes, and they should be treated case by case.

In August, 2026, five reports of white-on-black homicides were found in the USA.

Ramon Harris — Atlanta, Georgia

Ramon Harris, 29, was killed Aug. 23, 2026, during a confrontation along Atlanta’s Beltline, according to police and local news reports. Investigators say Harris was fatally stabbed during an argument involving 54-year-old Johnathan Hamby. Officers responding to the scene found Harris suffering from a stab wound to the neck. Hamby was taken into custody and later faced a murder charge. Police said the investigation included witness accounts, 911 calls and evidence recovered at the scene. Harris was known locally as an artist and skateboarder, and people who knew him described him as someone who pursued creative interests and enjoyed spending time around Atlanta’s skateboarding community.

John “JJ” Mathis — Pampa, Texas

John “JJ” Mathis, 48, of Pampa, Texas, died after being shot Aug. 11, 2026, at a city park. Police were called at about 9:45 a.m. and found Mathis suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital in the Amarillo area in serious condition, but his injuries proved fatal. Mathis died during the early morning hours of Aug. 12, and an autopsy was ordered. Investigators arrested Christian Leith, 28, in connection with the shooting. After Mathis died, Leith faced a murder charge.
