FBI Releases Photos of Person of Interest, Offers $100,000 Reward in Charlie Kirk Killing

Officials describe a rooftop shooter who fled on foot after leaving a bolt-action rifle nearby.

Overview

  • Agents posted images of a person of interest described as college-aged and asked the public to submit tips to help identify the individual.
  • Investigators recovered a high-powered bolt‑action rifle in a wooded area near Utah Valley University and sent it for laboratory analysis.
  • Forensic teams collected a footwear impression, a palm print and forearm imprints from the scene as part of the ongoing investigation.
  • Authorities tracked the suspect’s route: arrival at 11:52 a.m., movement through stairwells to a rooftop, a single distant shot, then a jump and flight into a nearby neighborhood.
  • Two people detained shortly after the shooting were questioned and cleared; no motive has been announced, and officials say the attack was targeted and the broader community is not at risk.
