John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine and employee of the Texas School Book Depository, shot Kennedy from the sixth floor of the building at approximately 12:30 PM Central Standard Time.

The Warren Commission, established by President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination, concluded that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy.

Oswald was subsequently shot and killed by night club owner Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963, while in police custody.

The FBI investigated the assassination and found no evidence of a conspiracy involving government agencies or foreign governments.

CIA Director John McCone testified before the Warren Commission that there was no intelligence indicating a plot to assassinate Kennedy.

The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) later concluded that there was likely a conspiracy involving organized crime, but no concrete evidence was found.

The FBI's investigation of the assassination led to the identification of several individuals who had potential connections to Oswald or the assassination, including:
	* George Joannides, a CIA officer who had been involved in anti-Castro operations and had connections to Oswald.
	* David Atlee Phillips, a CIA officer who had also been involved in anti-Castro operations and had known Oswald.
	* E. Howard Hunt, a CIA officer who was involved in the Bay of Pigs operation and later implicated in the Watergate scandal.

The assassination occurred at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, where Kennedy's motorcade was traveling through the city.

The Warren Commission concluded that there were no credible witnesses to the assassination, but several individuals reported hearing shots coming from the rear or side of the motorcade.

The FBI investigated numerous leads and interviewed hundreds of witnesses, but ultimately found no evidence of a conspiracy involving government agencies or foreign governments.
