Joshua Jahn Identified in Dallas ICE Rooftop Shooting That Killed One Detainee, Wounded Two

Officials have not released a motive despite public claims of political intent.

Overview

  • Federal and local authorities said the 29-year-old suspect died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after firing on a detainee transport at an ICE facility in Dallas.
  • Three detainees in a sally-port van were struck, leaving one dead and two in critical condition, and no ICE officers were injured, according to officials.
  • The FBI said a bullet found near the shooter was marked with the phrase “anti-ICE,” and the Dallas FBI chief described the attack as targeted violence.
  • Vice President JD Vance asserted that unreleased evidence indicates a political motive and labeled the suspect a left-wing extremist, a characterization investigators have not confirmed.
  • Relatives and acquaintances said Jahn did not seem overtly political; public records list him as an independent voter with a 2016 felony marijuana plea.
