Sister of ICE Shooting Suspect Identified as Kioko Jahn, Reportedly Linked to LGBTQ Community, OnlyFans Platform, and Prior Arrests
Investigators continued their search for answers Wednesday following a deadly shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas that left one detainee dead and two others wounded.
Authorities later identified the suspect as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, whose family is now grappling with the shocking events.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the first shots were fired at approximately 6:20 a.m.
The gunman opened fire “indiscriminately” at the ICE building and a transport van located in the facility’s sallyport, striking multiple victims.
Jahn’s body was discovered on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney’s office. Authorities reported that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Law enforcement officials also recovered unspent shell casings near his remains, some of which bore the words “ANTI-ICE.” FBI Director Kash Patel later shared an image of one such casing on social media.
Reached at their home in a Dallas suburb shortly after the incident but before Joshua was publicly named, his parents, Andrew and Sharon Jahn, struggled to speak about the tragedy.
“I’m sorry, I can’t talk to you right now,” his mother said through tears, apologizing repeatedly before ending the call.
Andrew Jahn, a retired mechanical engineer, was unavailable for comment. Sharon, also retired, previously worked as an administrator at a massage school in Plano.
Joshua Jahn’s older brother, Noah, described his family as devastated and in shock. In an earlier interview, Noah said his brother was not particularly political and “didn’t have strong feelings about ICE, as far as I knew.”
Records show Joshua was not affiliated with any political party.
Still, Noah acknowledged that his brother had access to firearms through the family but insisted, “He’s not a marksman, that’s for sure,” expressing disbelief that Joshua could have carried out such an attack.
Public records indicate that Joshua did not have an extensive criminal history.
In 2016, he was arrested on a felony marijuana charge and later entered a deferred guilty plea. He was sentenced to five years of probation, fined $500, and ordered to pay restitution.
Authorities also confirmed that a car believed to belong to Jahn was recovered with a handwritten sign referencing “radioactive fallout from nuclear formations.”
The FBI is currently searching the family’s Fairview, Texas home, which is valued at approximately $850,000.
Family members described Joshua as “unique” and said he had previously worked in computer coding but was unemployed at the time of the shooting.
He had recently been planning to relocate to his parents’ property in Oklahoma.
His younger sister, Kioko, and brother Noah both live in Texas.
Joshua Jahn’s sister, Kioko Jahn, is associated with the LGBTQ community and maintains an account on the subscription platform OnlyFans.
Public records also indicate she has a history of multiple arrests.
The shooting quickly drew national attention.
President Donald Trump condemned the attack on social media, calling the suspect “deranged” and describing the act as “despicable.” Trump argued that political rhetoric directed against ICE has fueled a rise in threats and violence targeting law enforcement officers.
This was not the first time the Jahn family’s name had surfaced in political discussions.
In 2022, Joshua’s mother, Sharon, publicly criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott and U.S. Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz for their gun policies, questioning their role in the state’s ongoing gun violence crisis.
As investigators work to piece together Joshua Jahn’s motives, his family remains shaken. “I didn’t think he was politically interested,” Noah repeated. “He wasn’t involved in politics on either side, as far as I knew.”
The investigation into the Dallas ICE facility shooting remains ongoing.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
The suspect, Gary Haley, was later found deceased aboard the vessel.
During the course of the response, officers also discovered a second adult male victim, Nathan Jones, who had been shot by the suspect.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has assumed responsibility for the investigation, which includes a homicide, an attempted homicide, and an officer-involved shooting.
TBI agents are actively conducting interviews, collecting evidence, and working to establish a comprehensive timeline of events.
Upon completion of the investigation, findings will be submitted to 15th Judicial District Attorney General Jason Lawson for review.
Authorities stated that additional information will be released as it becomes available.
