Charlie Kirk assassination: New video shows shooter jumping off college roof, fleeing | Watch

US investigators have released dramatic video footage and photos of a suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed while speaking at a university event in Utah on Wednesday.

Surveillance shows rooftop escape

Newly released video shows the shooter dressed in black, sprinting across a campus rooftop and leaping off the building moments after firing a single fatal shot. Authorities believe the suspect fled into a nearby neighbourhood and remains at large.

The man is seen wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt featuring an American flag, a bald eagle, and the words "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave," along with a dark baseball cap, black sunglasses, and Converse shoes. He also carried a backpack.

FBI, Utah officials seek public help

At a joint press briefing on Friday (Thursday U.S. time), Utah Governor Spencer Cox and the FBI appealed for public assistance. Cox confirmed that investigators have received over 7,000 tips and conducted more than 200 interviews.

"We cannot do our job without the public’s help right now," Cox said. "We want to catch this assassin and hold him accountable." The governor added that Utah would consider pursuing the death penalty upon arrest.

Murder weapon recovered, motive still unknown

Law enforcement has recovered the rifle believed to have been used in the killing. Officials say the shooter left palm impressions, smudges, and a shoe print — possible sources of DNA.

No motive has been confirmed, though former President Donald Trump, a close ally of Kirk, hinted he had “some indication” of the shooter’s intent. He called Kirk’s death a “heinous assassination.”

Shirt linked to veterans group

Joe VanFonda, CEO of the Disabled Veterans National Foundation, confirmed the suspect’s shirt resembles one mailed to donors since 2023. “It was never sold — only distributed to our supporters, most of whom are over 60,” he said.

As political tensions rise, Kirk’s killing has sparked bipartisan condemnation and renewed concerns about political violence in the U.S.
