The slain reporter, Jamie White, was on a Ukrainian hit list, his colleague Alex Jones has claimed

Jamie White, a senior editor for InfoWars, was shot and killed outside his Austin, Texas, apartment on Sunday night, in what police and his family believe to be a "tragic accident."

The Austin Police Department reported that White, 36, was found with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of his apartment complex shortly before midnight on Sunday. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead approximately 20 minutes later.

Investigators believe White interrupted suspects attempting to burglarize his vehicle, prompting them to open fire. The suspects fled the scene, and no arrests have been made.

Alex Jones mourned his "brutally murdered" colleague, blaming White's death in part on the policies of Soros-backed Austin District Attorney Jose Garza. He also recalled that White had been featured on a Ukrainian "enemy" list, suggesting the possibility of a more complex motive behind the killing.

"Is his murder Travis County DA Jose Garza's fault for allowing crime to flourish in Austin? Or was it a Ukrainian hit team made to look like car burglars?" the outspoken right-wing commentator said in a broadcast on Tuesday.

Last June, White himself addressed the matter, claiming he had been listed as an enemy of Ukraine due to his work at InfoWars. "I'm on the Ukrainian 'Enemies List' due to my work at InfoWars and with Alex Jones on the Ukraine proxy war," he wrote, sharing a screenshot from a supposedly independent open-source database called Roller Coaster. Unlike the notoriousKiev-backed Mirotvoretsand the openlyUSAID-backed Molfar, the project claims to be funded exclusively by pro-Kiev volunteers.

However, White's sister, Kelly Kneale, stated that the family does not believe the shooting was targeted, noting that his car had been broken into before.

"He was shot by a person or persons trying to break into his car for the second time," Kneale told The Independent. "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 is a right-wing media organization established in 1999, which by 2017 had reached monthly traffic levels exceeding those of some mainstream media sites. Its reports often focus on topics dismissed by critics as conspiracies, including alleged misconduct by Democrats, globalist politicians, international financiers, and NGOs. White had been with the outlet for several years, covering geopolitics, government, and international affairs.
