While I know that I'm just asking for it from the conspiracy theorists out there, and while I admit that the government GROSSLY mishandled the whole affair and there may very well have been a variety of cover-ups in regards to how the whole thing went down, there is sufficient physical evidence (through modern ballistics both in simulators and real-life duplications sans murder) that we can 100% say that Oswald was the only shooter. Why he did it and who (if anyone) put him up to it can still be debated. At this time the most likely explanation is that Oswald, who had an obsession about being famous and historical, killed Kennedy just to get noticed. It worked, possibly the first thing he had ever done right.

Where was Lee Harvey Oswald arrested?
Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested at the Dallas theater after being dropped off by a light coloured station wagon with a gun rack later spotted at a service station on Davis street close to the theater,Deputy sheriff Roger Craig spotted Lee Harvey Oswald getting into the Nash on Dealey Plaza driven by Jack Ruby or Mac Wallace ,Lee arrived at the theater about 1300pm before Harvey Lee Oswald left his rooming house and officer Tippet was shot. Lee Harvey oswald was up stairs when Harvey entered the building followed later by the Dallas police,Harvey was arrested and escorted out of the front and and Lee the rear exit and hurried away after giving proof of his identy,Lee was later spotted out side a Mexican restaurant nearby in a red sports car. Both Oswalds are now dead and there bodies in the same grave in Rose Hill if iam wrong lets have some DNA Please understand the above is a joke, based on your calling Lee Harvey Oswald, "Harvey Lee Oswald". He is pretending there were two Oswalds running around (I am pretty sure Oswald's mother and brother Robert would have noticed another Oswald!). There is evidence of LHO taking a bus and a taxi, IIRC, but nothing about station wagons, or any proof that Ruby or Wallace did any such thing, or were in a position to. And when Oswald was exhumed, there was only one body found, of course. So to answer your real question with a real answer... he was arrested at the Texas Theater in Dallas.
Why did Jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswalt?
Oswald and Ruby discussed going in on a land deal together. Financing was arranged but at the last minute Oslwaldgot cold feet and backed out of the deal. Ruby was furious but after a few months the two got back on fairly friendly terms. Then Oswald visited a strip club run by Ruby. Apparently there was an argument between the two men though it is not clear what the topic of disagreement was. Oswald remained at the club and began to "put the moves" on Ruby's favorite stripper (it is not clear if Oswald did this to spite Ruby or if it was just coincidence). Regardless, Oswald ended up taking the stripper home with him that night and I think we all know what went down between them. Anyways, it is reported that Ruby vowed he was going to "teach that guy (Oswald) a lesson." You know the rest I assume.(Actually, there is no evidence that Ruby and Oswald knew each other, but it was a fun story, wasn't it?)Some Believe that Jack Ruby was one of many people that made a plan to kill JFK and when Lee Harvey Oswald was caught, Ruby didn't want Oswald to say anything saying he was in the job to kill JFK, so Jack Ruby snuckinto the Police station grabbed a gun from one of the officers holster and shot Oswald.(Actually, he used his own pistol, and if Oswald had not stalled, he'd have been gone long before Ruby even showed up. So if there was a conspiracy on this point, Oswald was in on it! And there has never been reason to think Oswald did not act alone. It was, after all, a one-manjob.)Actually as they were escorting Oswald from the building he was in, Ruby ran up and shot him.. there is actually a photograph of this happening.. look it upWhy Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald remains a mystery. It'sremarkable that while he was in custody immediately following the shooting in the basement of the Dallas PD, Jack was extremely nervous -- sweating and unable to relax. He was offered a cigarette by one of the detectives which he took (odd because Jack, being something of a health nut, didn't smoke). A few minutes later they told Jack that Oswald had died on the operatinng table, whereupon he suddenly and amazingly became quite calm, laid the cigarette down and assumed a demeanour that suggested great relief.During and after his trial, Jack let it be knownthat the truth would one day be revealed, intimating he knew far more than what he had revealed. The only reporter who interviewed Ruby was New York newspaper columnist, Dorothy Kilgallenwho was also a TV game show panelist on CBS's"What's My Line." Jack may have imparted too much information to Kilgallen --enough perhaps, to implicate important people as conspirators. For not long after that interview, Kilgallenwas found dead in her apartment of an apparent drug overdose. It has been speculated that the JFK assassination conspirators chose to silence Kilgallenbefore she was able to publish Ruby's revelations in a book she had begun to write. But there was never any trace found of her manuscript.
Were and when did Lee Harvey Oswald get arrested?
He was arrested for shooting Police Officer J. D. Tippit on the day of President Kennedy's assassination.

Did Lee Harvey Oswald Kill John F. Kennedy?
His gun, his prints on the gun (lifted while he was still alive), fibers from his shirt and a Russian blanket he owned on the gun, the fact that he was left alone on the floor from which the shots were fired, the fact he completely ignored his duties for the day in favor of making a "sniper's nest" in case other people were on the floor, so they couldn't stop him in time. His prints on the sniper's nest area. The fact that he alone escaped the building. The fact that he changed clothes and got his pistol. The fact that he used it to kill a police officer who stopped to question him (odd thing for an innocent person to do!) and then tried to shoot the arresting officers with it. The fact that he said the wrapped package he brought to work was "curtain rods" (which he didn't need) instead of a weapon. If he wasn't planning to do harm with the Carcano, why lie about what it was? The fact that he left his wedding ring, and almost every bit of money he had left, with his wife. He knew he wouldn't be coming home. He kept about as much as you would need to take a bus to Mexico, but Dallas heated up too quick for him to make any real escape to Mexico or anywhere else.
