Arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald at the Texas Theatre

Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President Kennedy, was arrested inside the Texas Theatre on November 22, 1963, after he entered without paying while police were searching for him. The arrest followed a sighting by a neighborhood attendant and subsequent identification by responding officers; Oswald was taken into custody and later charged with the assassination. Two days after his arrest, Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby while in police custody, an act that intensified controversy and conspiracy theories about the overall case. The Texas Theatre location remains a documented site linked to these events.
