Shooter Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested an hour after theassassination.

Officially, Kings assassin was named as 40-year-old James Earl Ray.
However many, including MLKs own family, suspect a larger conspiracy and believe Ray was innocent.
She stuck to this belief until her death in 2006.
Meanwhile, conspiracy theories suspecting FBI involvement point to how King and his associates were often under FBI surveillance.
The surveillance included his phone being tapped and his movements being monitored during the 50s and 60s.
John McMillian, a history professor at Georgia State University, previously said about the bureau.
Ray maintained that he did not kill MLK until the day he passed away in 1998.
He died the next day.
Sirhan Sirhan, an immigrant from Palestine, was convicted for the killing and remains behind bars.
But many suspect the involvement of other forces, much like in the assassination of his brother.
