Jack Ruby was angry at Lee Harvey Oswald and killed him on November 24, 1963. There were some who claimed that he was paid to kill Oswald to prevent him going to trial, but this was never substantiated. Ruby died in prison in 1967 while awaiting a new trial.
Oswald did know Ruby because, Ruby owned a night club and Oswald want there a lot
There was no evidence to that prior knowledge.
No connection was ever established between Ruby and Oswald. Everyone suspected at first that Ruby had filled Oswald to silence him but no ties were turned up.
To the best of anyone's knowledge, Lyndon B. Johnson, before he became US President had no knowledge of Jack Ruby. Ruby was known to the Dalas pomice force however, as a small time racketeer with ties to the Chicago mob. Ruby's reason for shooting Ozwald never made any sense and Ruby's actions helped fuel the conspiricy stories. LBJ did learn of Ruby after he shot & killed Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald, officially, assassinated President John F. Kennedy. There are many people who believe that Oswald was not alone in his killing of Kennedy.
There is absolutely no firm, reliable evidence that Ruby and Oswald knew each other... just a bunch of anecdotes that have had nearly 50 years to grow... you know how people are. Ruby was, in recent years, spotted at Oswald's arraignment, in footage previously not examined closely. I suspect that Ruby had his fill of Oswald's smirk and was just "lucky", so to speak, to be in the right place at the right time, the next day, to do something about it.
AnswerTo this day there is still an argument as to whether he killed Kennedy alone or was with a group. Nobody knows if anybody sent him because two days after his arrest he was shot by Jack Ruby when he was being moved to the County Jail. Fun Fact: Did you know that the gun that killed Kennedy was bought for around 12 dollars.AnswerTheories that Oswald did not act alone don't really hold up to investigation. Oswald was a man who never fit in; no matter what he tried, he always ended up alienating himself from the "group". The likelihood that he could cooperate or coordinate this activity with another person or persons is very remote. He had the training, the skill, and the means to carry it out all by himself. Most of all, after all of his failures, he had the motivation to make this grand gesture to show the world that he had what it takes.
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.

What did you want to know about Lee Harvey Oswald.
To provide an accurate answer, I need to know which Oswald you are referring to, as it could relate to various individuals, such as Lee Harvey Oswald or a fictional character. If you specify, I can give you the relevant information about that person's age.
Many believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed him but a total of three shots were heard so really it could be anyone. Jack Ruby murdered Oswald later and he had crucial evidence to the assassination of JFK. If only we could go back in time......... However, the government supposedly holds "tapes" of the assassination that are classified. These tapes have never been shown to any civilian and may not ever be. Only time will tell.
Lee Harvey Oswald was caught in a theater.
