InfoWars reporter Jamie White killed in Austin

Texas authorities are investigating the murder of InfoWars reporter Jamie White, who was killed late Sunday night in a South Austin neighborhood, according to Fox News.

InfoWars founder Alex Jones confirmed White's death on Monday, describing it as a "brutal murder."

The incident, marking Austin’s eighth homicide of 2025, has intensified concerns about rising crime in the city.

According to FOX 7 Austin, Austin Police Department officers responded around midnight to the 2300 block of Douglas Street, where they discovered Jamie White with "obvious signs of trauma." He was transported to a hospital but did not survive. Authorities have not released further details about the attack, and no suspects have been identified. The investigation is ongoing.

In a statement, InfoWars expressed deep sorrow over White's death, alleging political factors contributed to the crime. "We are deeply saddened to inform you that InfoWars reporter Jamie White was brutally murdered around midnight Sunday night due, in part, to the policies of the Soros Austin, TX DA Jose Garza," the outlet stated.

InfoWars also vowed to seek justice for White, stating, "We pledge that Jamie's tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice. Jamie's important work will be carried on through InfoWars, our readers, and our cherished listeners."

Austin has experienced a surge in crime in recent years. In 2023, amid a severe police staffing shortage, the Austin Police Department advised residents to call 311 instead of 911 if robbed at an ATM, according to Fox News.

In August 2024, residents of Montopolis, another Austin neighborhood, voiced concerns over escalating violence. "It's making the hair on my arms stand up. To hear eight, nine, ten shots. Just bam, bam, bam. Where are those bullets going?" one local said. "I don't want to be shot sleeping in my bed."

The investigation into White's murder remains ongoing as authorities work to determine the circumstances surrounding the killing. (ANI)
