Graphic Image of Dallas ICE facility shooting suspect Joshua Jahn after taking his own life
Authorities have officially identified the gunman behind Wednesday’s deadly sniper attack outside a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn.
The shooting left four people dead, including Jahn himself, and has sparked renewed concern over security measures at federal facilities and during detainee transport operations.
Unspent cartridges engraved with “ANTI-ICE” were found near his body, suggesting an ideological motive.
The incident began around 6:40 a.m. on September 24, 2025, when Dallas police received multiple reports of gunfire near the 8100 block of North Stemmons Freeway.
According to investigators, 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 inside the van were struck by gunfire. One victim died at the scene, while two others were rushed to a local hospital.
By midday, officials with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that a second detainee had died from injuries, bringing the death toll to three.
The third victim remains hospitalized in critical condition.
As law enforcement closed in, Jahn fatally shot himself, ending the standoff. “The suspect is deceased,” Dallas Police said in an official statement. “This remains an active and ongoing investigation.”
The FBI, DHS, and Dallas Police Department are jointly investigating the incident.
While authorities believe they have established the suspect’s background, no motive has been released. Investigators are continuing to examine Jahn’s actions and movements in the days leading up to the shooting.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is expected to address the public in a press conference with local officials. Congressman Marc Veasey (D–TX) also issued a statement calling the attack a “senseless act of violence against vulnerable individuals”, extending his condolences to the victims and their families.
The deadly attack has rattled the Dallas community and drawn sharp attention to security vulnerabilities at federal facilities.
Former law enforcement leaders have already described the incident as a “serious security breach” that underscores the need for immediate review of safety protocols.
Authorities continue to investigate, with further updates expected in the coming days.
Authorities are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred early Saturday morning during a domestic altercation at an apartment on Mel Smith Road, located in an unincorporated area outside New Albany.
The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) received the initial emergency call at approximately 5:39 a.m. on November 15, 2025, reporting a disturbance involving family members.
While officers were en route, additional information indicated that shots had been fired inside the residence.
Upon arrival, deputies encountered a domestic situation involving a mother and her two adult sons.
Officers immediately secured the scene and began administering medical aid to one of the men who had sustained gunshot wounds.
The second male remained at the location and cooperated fully with responding officers.
The injured individual was transported to a nearby hospital; however, he later died as a result of his injuries.
Detectives with the Floyd County Criminal Investigations Division (CID) have taken over the case and processed the scene for evidence.
Early findings suggest the shooting may have occurred in self-defense, though officials emphasize that the investigation is still in its preliminary stages.
The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the incident was isolated and that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Authorities state that additional updates will be released as the investigation progresses and more information becomes available.
The case remains active.
