The individual responsible for fatally shooting two migrants and injuring another at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified in newly released images.

Joshua Jahn, aged 29, has been named as the shooter who targeted the ICE detention center early Wednesday at approximately 7 a.m., before committing suicide as law enforcement approached.

Authorities reported that the shooter positioned himself on a rooftop near the facility and fired upon the migrants as they were being moved in an unmarked ICE vehicle.

Investigators said that they are still establishing a motive, but believe the horror shooting may have been fueled by anti-law enforcement sentiment. 

FBI Director Kash Patel released images of bullets found at the scene, showing ‘anti-ICE’ scrawled on the shells in blue ink. 

After Jahn was identified as the alleged shooter, his brother Noah told NBC News that he did not believe his brother was especially interested in politics and had not voiced his opinions on immigration before. 

‘He didn’t have strong feelings about ICE as far as I knew,’ his brother said. 

Noah said his brother was unemployed but had previously worked as a coder, and was planning on moving in with their parents in Oklahoma. 

Noah reportedly spoke before he knew that his brother had been identified as the sniper, and described him as ‘unique’ without elaborating. 

‘I didn’t think he was politically interested,’ he continued, saying he had last seen him two weeks before the shooting on Wednesday and nothing seemed unusual. 

‘He wasn’t interested in politics on either side as far as I knew.’ 

The siblings grew up in Allen, Texas, and spent their childhoods attending the Boy Scouts, the brother said. 

He added that his brother knew how to use a rifle that his parents owned, but insisted that ‘he’s not a marksman, that’s for sure.’ 

Asked about the ICE facility shooting, he remarked: ‘He would not be able to make any shots like that.’  

Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN that the death toll stood at two as of Wednesday afternoon. A third victim was in serious condition.

Witness Arianny Sierra told NBC that she was in her car waiting for her husband to return from an ICE appointment in the facility when she heard shots ring out. 

‘The shots began at around 6:10 a.m. There were like 20 shots in a row,’ she said.

The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting. Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that the sniper 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.’ 

Although the sniper appeared to target migrants in ICE custody, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote on X that the shooting represented an attack on ICE and law enforcement.

‘We will continue to do everything in our power to combat the alarming increase of targeted attacks against ICE and all law enforcement by evil, twisted individuals,’ Paxton wrote.

Vice President JD Vance added: ‘The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop. I’m praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families.’

At the press conference on Wednesday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz made an impassioned plea for the end of politically motivated violence that has swept the nation in recent times.

‘We should not be putting language out there that inspires mad men to commit evil crimes,’ Cruz said. ‘Stop it, please.’

Cruz also cited the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, telling reporters: ‘It was two weeks ago today that we saw a political assassination in Utah that tore the heart out of much of this country.’
