Just to point out there are very good approximation to complex zeros off your line of $$ \Gamma(s)-\Gamma(1-s) \qquad(1)$$

At $\rho \approx -1.69711183621729718874218687438 - 0.305228379993226071272967719419 i$ (1) appears to vanish while $\Gamma(\rho) \approx 1.4648039 + 0.3642699441 i$

Root finding with better precision converges to $\rho$ while (1) still appear to vanish in both sage and gp/pari (modulo bugs).

Checked to precision $5000$ digits and (1) still appears to vanish.

Here is $\rho$ with $100$ digits of precision:

-1.697111836217297188742186874382163077146364585981726518217373889827452772242797069678994954785699956 - 0.3052283799932260712729677194188512919331197338088909477524842921187943642970297308885952936796125572*I

... for $ \Gamma(s)+\Gamma(1-s)$ approximation of zero appears $\rho \approx -0.60940537628997711023 - 0.82913081575572747216 i$ checked to $5000$ digits of precision.

With 100 digits:

 -0.6094053762899771102337308158313839002012166649163876907688596366808893391382113824494098816671945331 - 0.8291308157557274721587141536678087800797120641344787653174391388417832472543392187032283839972409848*I

Edit In comments juan suggested using x-ray to investigate the zeros.

The primary reference for x-ray I found is X-Ray of Riemann zeta-function, J. Arias-de-Reyna

AFAICT x-ray are the plots of Re(f(s))=0 and Im(f(s))=0. The zeros are the intersection.

The x-ray and juan's comments suggest the above quadruples of zeros are indeed zeros off $\frac12$ and possibly there are no more complex zeros zeros off the line.

Here is the x-ray of $ \Gamma(s)-\Gamma(1-s)$. Blue is $\Re(\Gamma(s)-\Gamma(1-s))=0$ and red is $\Im(\Gamma(s)-\Gamma(1-s))=0$.
