The sibling of Joshua Jahn, the sniper involved in the recent Dallas ICE shooting who killed one migrant detainee and injured two others on Wednesday, has an extensive criminal record that includes offenses similar to those of her brother.
Kioko Jahn, 27, has faced arrest three times in Collin County and is thought to have had several other legal issues throughout Texas since 2017, as per online public records.
Her first arrest occurred on April 4, 2019, when she was charged with misdemeanor assault, a charge she pleaded guilty to seven months later, reportedly in exchange for a probation deal, according to court documents.
On March 4, 2022, Jahn was arrested again for marijuana possession, seven years following her brother’s encounter with law enforcement for a similar offense. This case was dismissed in August 2023.
Just a day later, on March 5, 2022, Jahn was taken into custody again, but was soon released under conditions set by a magistrate, records from Collin County indicate.
The New York Post was unable to receive immediate responses from nearby law enforcement agencies.
During the shooting incident, Jahn’s brother unleashed a series of gunshots from a rooftop, targeting a bus transporting migrants who were being escorted by federal agents to the ICE facility in Dallas.
One of the victims was a Mexican national, as confirmed by Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry.
After the incident, the shooter, who identified as an independent voter who participated in the 2020 Democratic primary and voted again in 2024, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Authorities reported that the words “ANTI-ICE” were inscribed on a stripper clip of ammunition near his remains.
Key Details on the Dallas ICE Shooting
- A shooter identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn opened fire at an ICE transport van at a Dallas detention center early September 24.
- Witness claims state that Jahn began firing when detainees were being moved, and the facility’s gate was open.
- One individual was killed and two were injured in the attack, while Jahn was later found deceased on a nearby rooftop from a self-inflicted gunshot.
- Bullets recovered from the scene contained messages, including “ANTI-ICE,” according to information from the FBI.
- The FBI announced that the shooting is being treated as “targeted violence,” according to special agent Joe Rothrock during a press briefing.
Authorities also located a blue Toyota Corolla, believed to belong to Joshua Jahn, which had a worn-out printed map attached to its rear with the inscription, “Radioactive fallout from nuclear detonations has passed over these areas more than 2x since 1951.”
This map appears to have been compiled by researcher Richard Miller, indicating regions in the US influenced by radioactive clouds resulting from nuclear testing conducted in Nevada during the ’50s and ’60s.
The disturbing shooting incident is undergoing scrutiny as a carefully orchestrated attack on federal employees.
“I can confirm that the FBI is addressing this event as an act of targeted violence,” stated Joe Rothrock, special agent in charge of the Dallas office of the FBI, during a media briefing.
“Sadly, this incident is another instance of targeted violence we have witnessed, particularly in north Texas, where just this past July 4, we witnessed a planned attack against an immigration center in Alvarado.”
This marks the third attack aimed at ICE or U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in just a few months, coinciding with increased hostile rhetoric towards these agencies from Democratic politicians.
