Police investigating the murder of an InfoWars reporter in Austin this week said he was likely the victim of a random car burglary attempt gone wrong. That hasn't stopped InfoWars founder Alex Jones from doing what he does best: peddling conspiracy theories.

Alex Jones, the founder of Infowars, said one of his reporters, Jamie White was killed in Austin. Police later confirmed his identity.

A writer for Alex Jones’ right-wing conspiracy website Infowars was killed near his Austin home late Sunday, Jones announced on a Monday broadcast. Jones said writer Jamie White, 36, was "brutally murdered" outside of a southeast Austin apartment complex Sunday night.

A longtime reporter with controversial radio show InfoWars was killed in a residential neighborhood in Austin over the weekend. On Monday, InfoWars founder Alex Jones told viewers that Jamie White, a reporter for his network and site, was "brutally murdered" outside of his home around midnight on Sunday night.

On his show Monday, Jones said the staff member, 36-year-old Jamie White, was “brutally murdered” outside his home, a few miles from the Infowars office. Austin police later confirmed White was shot and killed outside the Chandelier Apartments.

The Austin Police Department said Jamie White was shot and killed in the parking lot of his apartment complex, possibly by people burglarizing his vehicle.

What happened to 'InfoWars' reporter Jamie White? He was killed near his Texas apartment. Alex Jones partially blames Democrats for his death.
