A sniper who killed a migrant and wounded two others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The attack unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself.
Multiple law enforcement sources named Jahn as the gunman who opened fire from the rooftop of a building adjacent to the ICE detention center.
The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.
Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter’s body were engraved with ‘anti-ICE messages’, and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: ‘Anti-ICE.’
The gunman opened fire ‘from an elevated position’ as migrants were inside the transport van. He is believed to have been found on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney’s office, WFAA reported.
Patel said in an X post: ‘While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack.
‘These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off.’
