JD Tippit is one of the most popular and richest Law Enforcement Officer who was born on September 18, 1924 in Texas, Texas, United States. This Dallas police officer was shot and killed by John F. Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald less than an hour after Oswald had (allegedly) fired the fatal shots at JFK.
Following John F. Kennedy’s and Tippit’s deaths, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy wrote a letter to Tippit’s widow to express her condolences and reach out in their shared time of grief.
He and his two sisters and four brothers grew up in Red River County, Texas, as the children of Lizzie Mae Rush Tippit and Edgar Lee Tippit. JD Tippit’s 1946 marriage to Marie Frances Gasway resulted in children named Charles, Brenda, and Curtis.
