The Federal Bureau of Investigation has released a pair of images of a “person of interest” in the shooting death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
“We are asking for the public’s help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University,” the bureau wrote on X along with the photos, which show a lanky male dressed head to toe in dark clothing.
The subject is wearing wraparound sunglasses, a dark-colored hat, and a long-sleeve shirt that appears to have an American flag on it.
Anyone who might be able to identify the man is being asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip digitally.
Kirk, 31, was killed by a single shot fired by a sniper from the Losee Center, a building on the campus of Utah Valley University, around 200 yards from where he was speaking as he kicked off his multi-city American Comeback tour.
Two suspects later found not to be connected to the shooting were arrested yesterday — one was hit with an obstruction of justice charge, and another was interrogated by federal agents and released.
An imported .30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle — found wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the Orem campus — is believed to be the murder weapon, according to a memo put out by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
