Dallas ICE facility shooting suspect identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn
Authorities have identified the gunman responsible for Wednesday’s deadly sniper attack outside a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn.
The attack left four people dead, including Jahn, and has prompted widespread concern about security at federal operations.
Unspent cartridges engraved with “ANTI-ICE” were found near his body, suggesting an ideological motive.
The incident unfolded shortly before 6:40 a.m. on September 24, 2025, when Dallas police received reports of shots fired near the 8100 block of North Stemmons Freeway.
Investigators determined that Jahn positioned himself on the rooftop of a building adjacent to the ICE facility and opened fire on an unmarked van transporting detainees as it entered the premises.
Three detainees were struck by gunfire.
One died at the scene, while two others were rushed to a nearby hospital. By midday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that a second detainee had died from injuries, raising the victim count to three.
The third remains hospitalized in critical condition.
As law enforcement officers moved to confront him, Jahn turned the rifle on himself, suffering a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound. “The suspect is deceased,” Dallas Police said in a statement. “This remains an active and ongoing investigation.”
Federal and local law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and DHS, are assisting with the case.
Investigators have not disclosed a possible motive and are working to determine Jahn’s movements and actions leading up to the shooting.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is scheduled to address the public alongside police officials in a press conference. Congressman Marc Veasey (D–TX) issued a statement following the attack, calling it “a senseless act of violence against vulnerable individuals” and offering condolences to the victims’ families.
The shooting has rattled the Dallas community and heightened concerns over security at federal facilities, particularly involving detainee transport operations.
Former law enforcement officials have described the incident as a “serious breach” and are urging a thorough review of security protocols.
Authorities continue to investigate, with updates expected as more details become available.
HARRIS COUNTY, TX — A juvenile male was shot and killed in the Northwest Park area, prompting an active investigation by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO).
Deputies responded at approximately 2:15 p.m. to reports of a shooting at a residential complex located at 10155 Bammel North Houston Road, near North Houston Rosslyn and Fallbrook Drive.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered a juvenile Hispanic male suffering from a gunshot wound.
Despite attempts by first responders to perform CPR and lifesaving measures, the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Detectives from the Homicide Division, led by Detective Jason Brown, responded to conduct the investigation.
Based on initial witness statements, deputies were able to detain a 15-year-old male suspect believed to be involved in the incident.
According to preliminary findings, investigators believe the shooting may have occurred during a possible drug-related transaction.
At this stage, no additional suspects are believed to be involved.
Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) are processing evidence, while detectives continue to review surveillance footage from the apartment complex and interview witnesses.
The identity of the deceased has not yet been formally confirmed, though authorities believe they have located potential family members.
The investigation remains active and ongoing, and additional details will be released as they become available.
