FBI releases images of suspect in Charlie Kirk assassination; Rifle recovered
Orem, Utah: The FBI has released surveillance images of a person of interest in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed Wednesday during a campus event at Utah Valley University.
Authorities say the shooter accessed a rooftop overlooking the outdoor event and fired a single round from a high-powered bolt-action rifle, striking Kirk in the neck. The attacker then jumped from the roof and fled into a nearby neighborhood.
The suspect, believed to be college-aged, wore a black top featuring a bald eagle and U.S. flag, dark sunglasses, and a baseball cap. The FBI is asking for public assistance in identifying the individual.
The rifle was recovered in a wooded area near the campus, and investigators are analyzing palm prints, footprints, and engraved ammunition found at the scene.
Kirk, 31, was a key figure in youth conservative politics and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, who announced Kirk will be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The killing has sparked bipartisan condemnation and renewed concerns over political violence in the U.S.
