On November 22, 1963, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.[3] The main suspect in the assassination was Lee Harvey Oswald, who was in police custody. Two days after the assassination, Dallas police made arrangements to transfer Oswald to the county jail.[4] The police had notified news agencies that the scheduled time to move Oswald was 9:15 a.m. so Jackson arrived before 9:00 a.m. to get ready. However, authorities did not begin to move Oswald until after 11:00 a.m. Approximately fifty people were in the basement of the Dallas jail to see Oswald's transfer.[5]
As Oswald was being taken out of the Dallas jail, Jack Ruby fired a gun at him. The exact time of the shooting was 11:21 a.m.[6] Jackson captured a photograph of the moment Oswald was shot. Jackson said he had no idea that he had captured the moment of the shooting until the film was developed.[7] On November 25, 1963, the image was published on the front page of the Dallas Times Herald.
