However. . .
Jack Ruby knew gangsters but was not one. (He knew lots of cops too!)
He was a night club owner.
Those that knew him said he couldn’t keep a secret for 2 minutes!

There were plenty of witnesses in that area. None reported hearing shots. A few attention seekers claimed they did years later.
