Alex Jones, a colleague of Jamie White, alleges that the slain reporter was on a Ukrainian “hit list.”
Jamie White, a senior editor at InfoWars, died Sunday night outside his Austin, Texas, apartment from gunshot wounds in what police and his family are calling a “tragic accident.”
According to the Austin Police Department, White, 36, was discovered in his apartment complex parking lot with gunshot wounds shortly before midnight on Sunday. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died approximately 20 minutes later.
Investigators believe White interrupted a vehicle burglary, leading the suspects to shoot him. The suspects fled, and no arrests have been made.
Alex Jones lamented the “brutally murdered” colleague, partially blaming White’s death on policies of Soros-backed Austin District Attorney José Garza. Jones also mentioned White’s prior inclusion on a Ukrainian “enemy” list, hinting at a potentially more complex motivation behind the killing.
Last June, White stated that he was on a Ukrainian “Enemies List” because of his work at InfoWars. He wrote, “I’m on the Ukrainian ‘Enemies List’ due to my work at InfoWars and with Alex Jones on the Ukraine proxy war,” and shared a screenshot from Roller Coaster, a supposedly independent open-source database. The project claims to be funded by pro-Kiev volunteers, unlike other similar organizations.
However, White’s sister, Kelly Kneale, said the family believes the shooting was not targeted, mentioning that his car had been previously broken into.
Kneale told The Independent, “He was shot by a person or persons trying to break into his car for the second time. A tragic accident, but we haven’t heard much else. I hope whoever took his life is caught and brought to justice. My father and I are devastated, to say the least.”
InfoWars, a right-wing media organization founded in 1999, had monthly traffic in 2017 that surpassed some mainstream media sites. Its reports often focus on topics, such as alleged misconduct by Democrats, globalist politicians, international financiers, and NGOs, which critics dismiss as conspiracies. White had been with the outlet for several years, covering geopolitics, government, and international affairs.
