Joshua Jahn was a 29-year-old man who carried out a deadly shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Texas, in September 2025. He fired from a rooftop, killing one detainee and critically wounding two others before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities found "anti-ICE" messaging engraved on shell casings at the scene, suggesting a politically motivated attack. Jahn had ties to North Texas and Oklahoma and had a criminal record from a marijuana possession charge in 2015. His actions shocked neighbors and were linked to ideological motives, though friends described him as an edgelord with a provocative sense of humor rather than a deeply political person. Jahn had also been interested in gaming and internet culture in his youth.
Additionally, there is another person named Joshua Jahn who is known for speaking publicly about the consequences of drunk driving after losing his family in such an accident; however, this is a different individual with no connection to the Dallas ICE incident.
