New Footage Of Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin Released At Thursday Press Conference

Law enforcement officers released new surveillance footage Thursday that they say tracks the alleged assassin of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk as he fled the scene at Utah Valley University.

The FBI held a press conference Thursday to share new footage of the suspect fleeing the scene of Kirk’s assassination as agents asked the public for help in identifying him. Commissioner Beau Mason walked reporters through the enhanced video, pointing out critical details investigators believe will help identify the suspect.

“You will see a distinctive t-shirt with an American flag, and it appears to have an eagle on it. There’s a baseball cap with a triangle on it and a pair of sunglasses. All distinctive, all things we would ask the public to look for and try to identify if they know someone who has those items, who’s been seen wearing those items. We are looking for all of that information,” Mason said.

Earlier today the FBI released photos of “the person of interest” as agents from the bureau’s Salt Lake City field office posted two images showing a man dressed in dark clothing, a baseball cap and sunglasses. The FBI posted additional photos of the person of interest tied to the murder and urged the public to submit tips through its digital portal.

Kirk, 31, was gunned down Wednesday while speaking to students during an outdoor campus event. Authorities said the shot came from a rooftop approximately 200 yards away. Investigators later recovered ammunition in a wooded area near the university but have not confirmed whether it is tied to the shooter.
