J. D. Tippit[a] (September 18, 1924 – November 22, 1963) was an American World War II U.S. Army veteran and Bronze Star recipient, who was a police officer with the Dallas Police Department for 11 years.[4] On November 22, 1963, less than one hour after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Tippit was shot to death in a residential neighborhood in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was initially arrested for the murder of Tippit and subsequently charged for killing Kennedy but was murdered by Jack Ruby before he could stand trial.
In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Tippit was murdered by Oswald and that Oswald was the sole perpetrator. The commission's findings remain controversial and has been both challenged by conspiracy theorists who dispute the commission's conclusions and supported by others.
