AUSTIN, Texas — Alex Jones, the founder of InfoWars, announced the death of his reporter Jamie White, describing it as a brutal murder that occurred over the weekend in Austin. Jones claimed that White was targeted because of local policies and pledged to seek justice for his slain employee.
White’s death occurred near midnight on Sunday, and Jones attributed part of the blame to Austin’s district attorney, Democrat Jose Garza, accusing him of not effectively controlling local crime. These allegations added a controversial political dimension to the already grim news.
During his Monday broadcast, Jones detailed that White was found outside his residence, a short distance from the InfoWars studios. According to Jones, when White failed to respond to calls and did not arrive at work on time—an unusual occurrence given his dedication—the team went to check on him, only to find a crime scene sealed off by police.
Meanwhile, White’s sister, Kelly Kneale, provided a contrasting perspective to the media, expressing skepticism about Jones’ targeted killing theory. She explained that her brother was likely shot during a robbery attempt, noting that his car had previously been broken into during the holiday season.
“The idea it was target is far-fetched. We think it was just a tragic accident,” Kneale said, expressing hope that the perpetrator would be apprehended and face justice.
According to the Austin Police Department’s spokeswoman Detective Leah Ratliff, the initial call was reported late Sunday as a shootout or stabbing, resulting in a man found with significant injuries and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. She confirmed that the homicide investigation remains active and details about potential suspects are still under wraps, though further information is anticipated as the investigation progresses.
The police have encouraged anyone with information related to the case to come forward and contact the homicide tip line, underscoring the community’s role in aiding the ongoing investigative efforts.
White’s tragic death has rippled through the InfoWars community, with Jones vowing that the reporter’s commitment to the outlet’s objectives of fighting tyranny and advocating for freedom will continue to inspire the platform and its audience.
