Jack Ruby
Mugshot of Ruby on November 24, 1963, after his arrest
Conviction overturned on appeal, died before retrial
Jack Leon Ruby (born Jacob Leon Rubenstein; c.[1][2] March 25, 1911 – January 3, 1967) was an American nightclub owner who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963, two days after Oswald was accused of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Ruby shot and mortally wounded Oswald in Dallas Police Headquarters and was immediately arrested. Ruby was convicted and sentenced to death; the conviction was appealed, and he was to be granted a new trial, but Ruby fell ill, was diagnosed with cancer, and died of a pulmonary embolism on January 3, 1967.
In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Ruby acted alone in killing Oswald and shot him on impulse and in retaliation for the Kennedy assassination. The commission's findings have remained controversial and have been both challenged by critics who hypothesize that Ruby was part of a conspiracy surrounding the Kennedy assassination and supported by others.
