I just happen to have presented a thesis on this for Grade 10 History class.
E. Howard Hunt (who coincidentally happened to have ties to the CIA, the Mafia, and later became one of the Watergate burglars) and his CIA friends killed JFK. There were at least two shooters. They were part of a joint effort between the Mafia and the CIA to kill JFK.
JFK and his Attorney General (brother, Robert) were cracking down on organized crime, who may have in the past helped his administration come into power. Also, Kennedy disliked the CIA and was cutting spending on it wildly. He also, in their minds, didn't handle things well in the Bay of Pigs and the Missile Crisis, getting CIA people killed. Recall the Bay of Pigs was a CIA/Mafia effort with no military personnel at all. After that fiasco, CIA agents involved in the Bay of Pigs and Mafia bosses resumed their working relationship through people like David Ferrie, who worked for Carlos Marcello, a mob boss, and for the CIA on the Bay of Pigs.
Then, JFK's head exploded, and the Western world mourned.
