FBI Releases Photos and $100,000 Reward in Manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s Killer

Investigators recovered a high‑power bolt‑action rifle used in a single rooftop shot at Utah Valley University.

Overview

  • Federal agents published images of a person of interest and asked for public tips, offering a $100,000 reward as the suspect remains at large.
  • Authorities say the shooter fired one precision round from a campus rooftop; the rifle was found in nearby woods and two people briefly detained were released.
  • Investigators report collecting footprints, palm prints and surveillance video, and describe the suspect as university‑aged and able to blend in on campus.
  • The Wall Street Journal reported inscriptions on recovered ammunition referencing antifascist and transgender themes, with no motive identified by officials.
  • Political reaction and online misinformation escalated, with President Trump blaming the left, conspiracy videos spreading on X, and the European Parliament declining a requested minute of silence.
