FBI Releases Chilling New Footage of Charlie Kirk’s Shooter Escaping from Rooftop

New footage has been released showing the person suspected of killing Charlie Kirk fleeing the scene. In the video, the alleged shooter jumps off a rooftop after firing the shot that struck Kirk, then runs away from the location. Authorities have also released images of a “person of interest” and are asking the public for help identifying them.

The FBI emphasized that while two individuals were arrested earlier, officials believe neither is the shooter and that the suspect remains at large.

Evidence Collected at Scene

Investigators say they recovered trace evidence from the rooftop where the shooting occurred, including shoe impressions, a forearm imprint, and a palm print. They also located the shooter’s weapon and ammunition in a wooded area near the university shortly after the incident.

The police and FBI are using video footage + physical evidence to try to track down the suspect.

Public Appeal and $100,000 Reward

As part of their efforts, the FBI is calling on anyone who might have information—especially people with home security cameras, doorbell cameras, or surveillance footage in the area—to come forward. They offered a $100,000 reward for tips that lead to the arrest of the shooter.

The agency repeated the public help number “1-800-CALL-FBI.” Utah’s Department of Public Safety confirmed they have what they described as “good video” of the suspect, and are working through technical means to enhance and identify the individual.

Current Status of the Charlie Kirk Investigation

During a press conference, Utah officials said they are confident in their ability to ultimately identify the person in the video. Technologies being used include video enhancement, digital forensics, and analysis of physical traces. At this point, though, none of the released images has led to a confirmed match.

The two persons previously arrested are officially stated to have no current ties to the case, and no charges have been filed against the suspect(s) shown in the newly released footage.

Why It Matters

These updates mark a critical moment in the investigation:

• Visual Confirmation: The rooftop jump in the video corroborates earlier statements by law enforcement that the shooter fired from a high vantage point.
• Physical Evidence: Prints and shoe imprints may be decisive in confirming identity.
• Community Involvement: Because the suspect remains unidentified, public participation—providing footage or information—could tip the scales.
• Spike in Security Concerns: The case raises questions about security around public events, rooftop access control, and how quickly law enforcement can respond when high-profile persons are at risk.

Outstanding Questions

• The identity of the individual in the videos remains unknown.
• No definitive confirmation yet whether the individual seen jumping off the roof is indeed the shooter.
• Full details about the trajectory, weapon model, or exact path of escape are still being analyzed.
• It’s unclear whether there were accomplices or whether others helped in the preparation or escape.
