Jamie White, a reporter for the controversial media outlet InfoWars, met a tragic and violent end in Austin, Texas, on the night of March 9, 2025. His death was first reported by InfoWars founder Alex Jones, who described the killing as “brutal” and linked it to the policies of Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza. White was killed around midnight in the 2300 block of Douglas Street in South Austin, a residential neighborhood that has seen a rise in crime in recent years. Officers from the Austin Police Department (APD) arrived at the scene and found a man with severe trauma. He was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Jones, who has built his career on promoting conspiracy theories and controversial political narratives, did not hesitate to blame what he called the “Soros crime syndicate” for White’s death, a reference to billionaire philanthropist George Soros, whom right-wing figures frequently accuse of funding progressive prosecutors. Jones went on air and shared his grief, describing White as a dedicated journalist who was at the InfoWars office “six, seven days per week,” working tirelessly to publish content. He even showed White’s desk and his hat emblazoned with the phrase “Hold The Line.”
InfoWars Reporter Jamie White Found Dead in Austin, Texas—Investigation Underway
White had been a prolific contributor to InfoWars, covering topics that ranged from protests in Romania to Steve Bannon’s legal battles and Mexican drug cartels. His presence on social media was notable, and his X (formerly Twitter) handle, @whiteisthefury, quoted Thomas Jefferson: “I’ve sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” White frequently reposted content from figures such as Elon Musk, Nick Fuentes, and the account “Libs of TikTok.” His journalistic approach aligned closely with InfoWars’ mission of opposing what they describe as government overreach and mainstream media narratives.
The circumstances surrounding White’s murder remain murky. APD officers responded to an emergency call at 11:57 p.m. on Sunday night and discovered White with what police described as “obvious signs of trauma.” Local media outlets, including FOX 7 Austin and CBS Austin, reported that the attack occurred in a parking lot of an apartment complex. KXAN footage from the scene showed investigators collecting evidence from a second-floor apartment.
Jones later described the scene in graphic detail, saying there was “blood all over the parking lot.” As of now, no suspects have been identified, and police have not officially confirmed White as the victim, pending further investigation.
White’s death marks the eighth homicide in Austin in 2025, highlighting concerns about crime in the city. Austin has struggled with police staffing shortages, a problem that gained national attention in 2023 when the APD advised residents to call 311 instead of 911 if they were robbed near an ATM. In August 2024, residents in the Montopolis neighborhood voiced concerns about increasing gun violence, with one resident telling KVUE-TV, “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?” Such concerns add another layer to the conversation surrounding White’s murder, fueling debates about crime policies in Austin.

In the wake of White’s death, InfoWars released a statement mourning their colleague and vowing to continue his work. “We pledge that Jamie’s tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice,” the statement read. Jones reiterated these sentiments in his broadcasts, calling White “a great guy” and “classy guy,” emphasizing the significant role he played at InfoWars.
Despite InfoWars’ assertion that their reporter was targeted due to political conditions in Austin, authorities have not indicated any political motivation behind the killing. Travis County DA Jose Garza, whom Jones accused of being indirectly responsible, has made reducing gun violence a priority since taking office in January 2021. However, critics argue that his progressive policies have contributed to an increase in violent crime, a point that Jones and his followers frequently emphasize.
As investigations continue, White’s colleagues and supporters demand justice. His sudden and violent end has sent shockwaves through the InfoWars community, with many speculating about the motives behind the crime. Whether the investigation confirms Jones’ claims or reveals a different narrative, one thing remains clear: Jamie White’s death has become another flashpoint in the ongoing debate over crime, politics, and media narratives in the United States.
