Dark Complected Man

The Dark Complected Man (DCM) also known as Radio Man,The Cuban or the Umbrella Man Friend is a name given to an unidentified witness to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Lack of identification for the man has spawned numerous conspiracy theories, some linking Cuba or anti-Castro Cuban exiles to the assassination. In 2006, the Cuban newspaper Granma Internacional published an article suggesting the man could be the Cuban exile and CIA-backed operative Orlando Bosch Avila.
Conspiracy theorists claim the man can be seen using what appears to a radio or walkie-talkie and appears to gesticulate as the Kennedy motorcade passes.
In 1978 Louie Steven Witt identified himself as the man carrying the umbrella, but was not able to identify the man he sat next to. He did state that he had recollections of a "Negro man" who mumbled "They done shot them folks." Conspiracy theorists have claimed a number of inconsistencies with Witt's story and do not believe him to be the true "Umbrella Man."
