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.
