Tippit Shooting Scene Location |
The shooting occurred approximately 114 feet east of the southeast corner of Tenth and Patton (near the utility pole now located on the south side of the street).
Oswald fled south on Patton to Jefferson Boulevard, then west one block to Crawford, where he cut north through a parking lot located behind a Texaco Service station on the northeast corner, and ditched his jacket. Oswald then headed west and was spotted in front of Hardy's Shoe Store on Jefferson Boulevard, six blocks from the shooting scene.
Oswald was next observed entering the Texas Theater, 150 feet further west on Jefferson Boulevard, where he was arrested 37 minutes after the murder.
