A writer for Alex Jones’ conspiracy site Infowars was killed late Sunday near his apartment in Austin. On his show Monday, Jones said the staff member, 36-year-old Jamie White, was \u201cbrutally murdered\u201d outside his home, a few miles from the Infowars office. Austin police later confirmed White was shot and killed outside the Chandelier Apartments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe sent some people over this morning when he didn\u2019t answer the phone, because he was always here early, loves to work, loves to fight tyranny, loves to promote freedom,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWhen they got to the apartment complex, there was yellow tape everywhere and blood all over the parking lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a statement, Austin police said detectives believe the gunmen were burglarizing White\u2019s vehicle when he interrupted them. The suspects fled the scene and no arrests have been made.<\/p>\n
Austin police asked anyone in the area of 2336 Douglas St. whose vehicles were burglarized Sunday or Monday to reach out. Photos, videos or potential evidence can be submitted on the police\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

During his show, Jones blamed White\u2019s death on budget cuts made to the Austin Police Department, the Democratic party, former President Joe Biden and Travis County District Attorney Jos\u00e9 P. Garza, whom he likened to billionaire philanthropist, investor and Democratic donor George Soros.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe pledge that Jamie\u2019s tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice,\u201d Jones said in a statement.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the district attorney\u2019s office expressed condolences for White\u2019s family and said it was committed to finding those responsible for his death.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hearts go out to the family of Jamie White. It is shameful, but not surprising, that Alex Jones is trying to exploit the victims\u2019 death for political gain,\u201d the office said in a written statement. \u201cHowever, we will not let Jones distract us from our work in seeking justice for Mr. White and supporting the Austin Police Department in its investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones launched Infowars in 1999. Satirical news publication The Onion \u2014 backed by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims whom Jones owes more than $1 billion in defamation judgments for calling the massacre a hoax \u2014 bought the site at a bankruptcy auction in 2024. A federal judge in Texas later blocked the purchase, citing concerns about transparency in the auction.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not clear how long White worked at the publication, but Jones praised him as the site\u2019s best writer.<\/p>\n
The tragic death of Jamie White has sent shockwaves through the community, and authorities are working to bring those responsible to justice. As the investigation continues, it is essential to remember the importance of seeking truth and promoting freedom, values that White held dear.<\/p>\n
