InfoWars reporter Jamie White died in what host Alex Jones called a “brutal murder” that occurred around midnight outside his Austin apartment.
At 11:57 p.m., Austin police responded to a call in the 2300 block of Douglas Street — a white male victim was found with “obvious signs of trauma,” according to APD Public Information Officer Leah Ratliff. White was transported to a local hospital, where he died shortly after arrival.
Ratliff said this is in the early stages of the investigation and the homicide unit will release more information as it becomes available.
According to Jones, InfoWars employees became concerned after White failed to show up for work on Monday.
“We sent some people over this morning when he didn’t answer the phone because he’s always there early, loves to work, loves to fight tyranny, loves to advocate for freedom,” adding: “He died in the hospital very soon after he got there.”
“Jamie was our best journalist,” Jones said.
Our deepest condolences to the InfoWars family.
