Texas officials are investigating the murder of an Infowars reporter in Austin, Texas on Sunday night.
Infowars founder Alex Jones announced Monday that one of his reporters, Jamie White, had been “brutally murdered” around midnight.
Fox7 Austin reported that the 2025 Austin murder, the 8th murder of Austin, took place in the 2300 block of Douglas Street, a residential area in South Austin.
The outlet reported that officers from the Austin Police Station (APD) arrived at the scene and “found an adult man with obvious signs of trauma.” The victim was taken to the hospital where he died.
Alex Jones is trying to liquidate his assets to help pay the $1.5 billion owed to Sandy Hook’s family.

Austin has experienced an influx of crime in recent years. The APD has asked residents to call 311 if they are stolen near an ATM during a 2023 shortage.
In August 2024, residents of the city’s Montpolis area told KVUE-TV that crime was on the rise and expressed fear of their safety.
“It’s standing up the hair on my arm. To hear 8, 9, 10 shots. Just bum, bum, bum. Where are those bullets going?” said the local. “I’m sleeping in bed and I don’t shoot.”
The Austin Police Department is actively investigating the incident. (Fox 7 Austin)
