Police release more details on murder of InfoWars reporter Jamie White as search for suspects continues
The investigation into the death of InfoWars reporter Jamie White continued Tuesday, and the Austin Police Department (APD) announced the victim likely died during a burglary.
The APD responded to a call about a shooting in South Austin at around 11:56 p.m. Saturday night and found White, 36, “lying on the ground in the parking lot with apparent trauma to his body.
“White was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased at 12:19 a.m. on March 10, 2025,” the statement noted. “Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene Specialists responded to process the scene and interview witnesses.
“The initial investigation shows that White was shot and killed in the parking lot of the apartment complex in which he lived. The suspects then fled the scene,” police added. “Detectives believe the suspects were possibly burglarizing White’s vehicle, when he interrupted them.”

According to FOX 7 Austin, there were 57 crimes reported at White’s apartment complex in 2024, including vehicle thefts, aggravated assaults and at least one burglary. Yecca Aaron, a friend of White, told FOX 7 the journalist stayed at work late before he was killed.
“Literally right when he got home, all that happened,” Aaron said. “It’s crazy that he’s gone just like that.
“I keep going back and forth between feelings of anger and sadness.”
Aaron also said that White “liked to stand for truths, and he spoke up for what he believed in.”
“His work was his life,” she said. “He loved going to work. He never slacked off at work. His articles were very well written. That was what he was meant to do, was to write articles.

“I really don’t think it was he was targeted because of where he worked. I think he was just targeted because he was right there in the right place at the wrong time.”
In a statement, InfoWars blamed White’s death on “the policies of the Soros Austin, TX D.A. Jose Garza.”

“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 said. “Jamie’s important work will be carried on through InfoWars, our readers, and our cherished listeners.”
The APD is asking anyone with information related to the case to call them at 512-974-TIPS.

Jurors deliberating the fate of the man accused of starting the Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in California’s history, failed to reach a verdict Thursday afternoon, telling the judge they were deadlocked.
A spokesperson from the United States Attorney’s Office told KTLA that jurors will continue to deliberate until they reach a verdict or give up.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, a former Uber driver and one-time Pacific Palisades resident, is accused of starting the Lachman Fire on New Year’s Eve. The fire continued to smolder underground for about a week, even after Los Angeles firefighters believed it had been extinguished.
Flames reignited on Jan. 7, erupting into the deadly Palisades Fire that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in the upscale community, authorities said.

Prosecutors argued that Rinderknecht deliberately set the fire, claiming he had grown increasingly resentful of wealthy residents and viewed Pacific Palisades as a symbol of that frustration.
“Their case, though circumstantial, is strong,” KTLA legal analyst Alison Triessl said. “The defense is relying on, can they (prosecutors) show beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Rinderknecht actually started this fire and it wasn’t the result of fireworks or some intervening cause.”
The defense argued there is no direct physical evidence tying Rinderknecht to the fire and said the prosecution’s case relies entirely on circumstantial evidence. Rinderknecht did not testify during the trial.
Defense attorney Steve Haney spoke outside the courthouse Wednesday about why he believes it will be difficult for prosecutors to prove how the fire started.
“The lack of scene preservation. The fact that they got there after a lot of the evidence was missing. Not a lot of direct evidence. This is a circumstantial case, which is always difficult as a prosecutor to prove,” Haney said.
Rinderknecht, who was arrested and indicted last October, faces up to 45 years in prison if found guilty of three arson counts, including destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire.
