Lee Harvey Oswald killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy at Dallas Texas, while JFK was riding in a motorcade with his wife on the left, and the governor of Texas in the front seat with his wife at his side. Oswald killed JFK at 12:30 p.m at the Dealey Plaza and wounded the governor of Texas.
There is no evidence to link the mafia with Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who shot Kennedy. Oswald was known to dislike minorities, including Italians which means he would not likely have cooperated with them in any case, much less killed the President for them.
The assassination is still the subject of widespread debate and has spawned numerous conspiracy theories and alternative scenarios. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) found both the original FBI investigation and the Warren Commission Report to be seriously flawed. The HSCA also concluded that there were at least four shots fired and that it was probable that a conspiracy existed. Later, it was learned that the HSCA's evidence, recordings of Dallas PD traffic, had been recorded after the assassination was over (and from a different location), and was therefore meaningless. This means that their findings are without value. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested an hour and 20 minutes after the assassination for killing a Dallas police officer (J.D. Tippet). Oswald resisted arrest, attempting to shoot the arresting officer, Maurice N. McDonald, with the same pistol that shot Tippet, and was forcibly restrained by the police. He was charged with the murders of Tippet and Kennedy later that night. Oswald denied shooting anyone and claimed he was a scapegoat. He never addressed the question of why a "scapegoat" would have the Tippett gun and try to kill the arresting officers with it. Oswald's case never came to trial because two days later, while being escorted to an armored van for transfer from Dallas Police Headquarters to the Dallas County Jail, he was shot and killed by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby.
