In the aftermath of the heinous killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released images of a person of interest.

Kirk, 31, founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon at Utah Valley University during a public speaking event. He was answering questions about mass murders when he was fatally wounded, according to Fox News.

The photos released by the FBI show a skinny male wearing jeans, a long-sleeved black shirt with a graphic of an American flag, black sunglasses and a cap. 

“The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the individual(s) responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah,” FBI Salt Lake City announced on X.

FBI investigators said Thursday morning that they had discovered the sniper’s escape path and recuperated a “high-powered, bolt-action rifle,” according to FBI Salt Lake City Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls. He added they also had found foot, palm and forearm imprints linked to the crime.

The news came after authorities said they had captured two separate individuals. They later released them. “He’s going to be wearing all black, black long gun, black tactical helmet, a black mask, possibly wearing a tactical vest and jeans,” a female dispatcher said over the radio, according to recordings.

The FBI said the assassin appeared about 11:52 a.m. and climbed to a rooftop through a campus building’s stairwell. Kirk’s event started at noon.

After the shot was fired, the assassin leapt down the opposite side of the building and ran away into the neighborhood. Police investigated the area.
