Joshua Jahn biography
Age 29 White American Joshua Jahn born in April, 1996 was originally a native of Allen, Texas, where he and his siblings were once part of the Boy Scouts. Despite being unemployed at the time of the shooting, his brother revealed that he had some coding experience and was making plans to move back into his parents’ Oklahoma property. Authorities are still combing through his online activity, communications, and personal history in order to get a clear motive behind his anti-ICE actions.
He was a registered independent who voted in the Democratic primary in 2020 and last cast a ballot in 2024.
Parents
Joshua Jahn was born to parents Sharon and Andy Jahn. Interestingly, his mother, Sharon, drew attention after reporters uncovered her old Facebook posts railing against Texas Republicans and gun culture. She has publicly criticized politicians like Governor Greg Abbott, Senator Ted Cruz, and Senator John Cornyn online for what she described as reckless pro-gun policies. Notably, her outspoken views have fueled further speculation about whether politics shaped her son Joshua’s worldview as well.
“Governor Abbott, Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz how does it make you feel that your action to open up gun laws is responsible for the killing of 21 more people?” Sharon wrote in a May 25, 2022 post.
Meanwhile, Joshua’s father, Andy Jahn, reportedly worked as a mechanical engineer for over 30 years before retiring. Andy’s friends and neighbors have described him as a reserved and hardworking man.

Joshua Jahn had an older brother named Noah Jahn, who has spoke openly with the media following the tragic shooting. Noah stressed how he never knew his brother to hold extremist political beliefs and described him as “not a marksman”. Noah also shared how during their last meeting, which took place two weeks before the shooting, Joshua gave no signs of what was to come.
Noah also added how Joshua was focused on moving to their parents’ Oklahoma property, and not plotting violence. Meanwhile, online, some netizens have claimed to have found Joshua’s sister, Kioko, identified through circulating family photos.
Kioko, 27, has been arrested three times in Collin County and has other run-ins with the law across Texas since 2017 as well.
Jahn was first arrested on April 4, 2019, and charged with misdemeanor assault, an offense she pleaded guilty to seven months later in exchange for an unspecified probation term and she was booked again on March 4, 2022, for marijuana possession but her case was dismissed in August 2023
Besides the fact that she has been arrested several times, there is little to no information available about her.
