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.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
