During a Thursday morning press briefing, investigators disclosed that security footage helped them track the individual of interest from the moment he arrived on campus. Authorities say the person entered Utah Valley University at 11:52 a.m., moved through a stairwell, climbed to the roof, and left the scene immediately after the shooting.
The timeline of movements, pieced together from surveillance cameras, paints a chilling picture of how calculated the attack may have been.
Investigators confirmed several critical pieces of evidence have been recovered so far. Among the findings: a rifle left behind in a wooded area where the suspect was believed to have fled, as well as a palm print, forearm prints, and even a footwear impression.
Each of these discoveries could become vital in determining the suspect’s identity and potential motives behind the assassination.
FBI Director Kash Patel also weighed in on the investigation, posting an update within minutes of the press briefing. Patel assured the public that federal resources are being fully mobilized to bring justice to the victim and his family.
His statement signals how seriously the FBI is treating this case as it draws national attention and widespread outrage.
Federal officials are now urging the public to come forward with any information that could help identify the individual in the photos. Tip lines and digital media portals have been opened for anyone who may recognize the suspect or have relevant footage.
The FBI emphasized that even the smallest tip could be the key that cracks this case wide open.
The murder of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative leader and outspoken voice on college campuses, has stirred grief, anger, and calls for swift justice across the country.
With new photos now in the public’s hands, investigators are hoping someone will recognize the person of interest and bring this nationwide manhunt one step closer to resolution.
