## Bio

Born Jacob Rubenstein in Chicago in 1911, Ruby ran nightclubs in Texas by the time Kennedy came to Dallas. On November 24, 1963, two days after the assassination, he walked into the basement of the Dallas Police Headquarters and shot Lee Harvey Oswald in front of rolling cameras. He was arrested on the spot. Convicted and sentenced to death, Ruby won an appeal and was granted a new trial, but cancer intervened. He died of a pulmonary embolism on January 3, 1967. The Warren Commission found no evidence of conspiracy, but the act itself — one murder answering another, broadcast live — gave the theories a life of their own.
