J. D. Tippit (September 18, 1924 –
November 22, 1963) was an American police
officer who was an 11-year veteran with the Dallas Police Department. On a Dallas
street, about 45 minutes after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on
November 22, 1963, Tippit was shot to death. Oswald was initially arrested as a suspect in
Tippit's murder but later also became a suspect in the shooting of President
Kennedy. Oswald was charged with both crimes shortly after his arrest. However,
Oswald denied involvement in either of the cases. Before Oswald could be
prosecuted for either crime, he was shot and killed, while in police custody, by
strip club owner Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963.
