Utah authorities have unveiled new video footage of the suspect involved in the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk, intensifying their call for public assistance in bringing the perpetrator to justice.

The recently released footage depicts an individual lying prone on the roof of a campus building, who then stands, dashes across the rooftop, and leaps down to the lawn while carrying a backpack.

Details from the Footage

According to Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason, the suspect’s movements after jumping off the building were carefully analyzed. “The suspect navigated across the grassy area surrounding the parking lot,” Mason noted during a press conference.

Despite this detailed analysis, authorities have yet to identify the individual in the video or provide any additional details beyond the physical description initially released.

Status of the Investigation

The location of the suspect remains unknown, with officials confirming they have “no idea” if the individual is still in Utah or has crossed state lines, Mason stated in an interview.

Authorities have focused on several key aspects of the investigation, including:

Key Evidence and Discoveries

• Distinctive Appearance: The suspect was seen wearing a unique black t-shirt with an American flag and an eagle, along with sunglasses, a hat, jeans, and Converse sneakers.
• Palm and Shoe Impressions: Investigators noted palm impressions left by the suspect while descending from the roof and are working to collect potential DNA evidence.
• Rifle Recovered: A Mauser bolt-action rifle believed to have been used in the shooting was found in a wooded area. Early forensic reports indicate Kirk was likely killed by a single shot.
• Ammunition Analysis: Ongoing investigations are examining markings on spent shell casings for potential links to the suspect’s identity.

Witness Reports

A student from Utah Valley University reported seeing a man behaving unusually on the roof of the Losee Center on two separate occasions. The student characterized the behavior as “weird” and mentioned that a nearby professor had inquired if the man was okay.

Future Steps and Public Involvement

Officials confirmed that if the suspect is apprehended, they will pursue the death penalty. The FBI is currently offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the identification and capture of the shooter.

So far, authorities have gathered over 7,000 tips and conducted nearly 200 interviews in the ongoing investigation.
