The InfoWars writer who the publication’s founder claims was ‘brutally murdered’ late Sunday was possibly killed by people burglarizing his vehicle, according to the Austin Police Department.

APD said in a statement Tuesday that Jamie White, 36, was found lying on the ground in the parking lot of the apartment complex where he lived with trauma to his body. He was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead at 12:19 a.m. on Monday, the department said.

“The initial investigation shows that White was shot and killed in the parking lot of the apartment complex in which he lived,” the statement said. “The suspects then fled the scene. Detectives believe the suspects were possibly burglarizing White’s vehicle, when he interrupted them.”

White’s body is in the possession of the the Travis County Medical Examiner’s office, county spokesman Hector Nieto confirmed.

In a statement released on social media Monday evening, InfoWars founder Alex Jones said White had been a reporter at the far-right news site. White’s most recent article was published a day before his death, the InfoWars website shows.

“We pledge that Jamie’s tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice,” Jones said in a statement that blamed White’s death “in part” on the policies of Travis County District Attorney José Garza, a Democrat.

Garza’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

APD has asked that anyone in the area who may have had their vehicle burglarized on Sunday or Monday, to come forward. Photos, videos, or potential evidence, can be submitted to APD at this website.
