The FBI has released photos of a suspect identified as a new person of interest in the assassination of conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
As Slay News reported, Kirk was shot and killed during a speech at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
The images show a thin male wearing jeans, a long-sleeved black shirt with an American flag graphic, black sunglasses, and a hat.
Rifle Recovered, Escape Route Tracked
FBI Salt Lake City Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls said investigators have traced the sniper’s escape route and recovered a “high-powered, bolt-action rifle.”
Authorities also obtained foot, palm, and forearm imprints linked to the shooting.
The update follows confusion on Wednesday when law enforcement announced two separate detentions.
However, both individuals were later released.
Dispatch audio described the shooter as dressed in “all black” and armed with a “black long gun, black tactical helmet, [and] a black mask.”
Authorities believe the killer arrived at the campus around 11:52 a.m., climbed to a rooftop via a stairwell, and fired a single shot about 20 minutes into Kirk’s event, which began at noon.
The gunman then fled down the opposite side of the building into a nearby neighborhood.
