'''Jack Ruby''' was the Texan nightclub owner who murdered [[Lee Harvey Oswald]] in a public location on November 24, 1963, two days after the [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy]] which Oswald was officially convicted and solely blamed for but in which he may or may not have been the only culprit. Following his shooting of the shooter, which was famously photographed at the precise moment of its occurrence as seen above, Ruby was swiftly convicted and initially sentenced to death, but he managed to get this verdict overturned due to his understandable motive, that of vigilante justice, and his re–trial for a lesser sentence was put on low–priority queue. However, Jack Ruby died in prison, seemingly of natural causes, before this re–trial could take place, on January 3, 1967.

It has been proposed by many conspiracy theorists that Jack Ruby's murder of Oswald was part of a conspiracy and was done in order to stop him from revealing who the other and/or true assassin(s) were. Even assuming his motives for killing Oswald were based in simple vigilantism, there is still a strong possibility that Ruby's reckless actions had the same effect of causing information that would have revealed involvement of others in JFK's death to become unknowable.
