Joshua Jahn was identified as the 29-year-old shooter behind a deadly attack at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Texas, in September 2025. He opened fire from a rooftop with a rifle, killing one detainee and critically wounding two others before dying from a self- inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities found "anti-ICE" messages engraved on shell casings at the scene, and the attack is believed to have been politically motivated. Jahn had ties to North Texas and Oklahoma, with his family living in Fairview, Texas, and he had a criminal record from a 2015 arrest for marijuana possession. His online profiles suggested left-leaning and provocative political views, though some friends described his persona as more ironic and edgy than seriously political.
There is also another Joshua Jahn known for sharing a powerful message about drinking and driving. After losing his wife and two small children to a drunk driving incident in 2008, he became an advocate speaking to various groups about the power of choice and personal responsibility.
If there is a specific Joshua Jahn of interest, the Dallas ICE shooter is the most recent public figure with that name as of 2025.
