Overview

• Authorities published new photos and a video showing a young man jumping from a campus rooftop, running across Utah Valley University, and heading into nearby woods where a high‑power manually operated rifle was recovered.
• Investigators say they know the suspect’s name and are asking for public help, with a $100,000 reward and thousands of digital tips reported by Utah’s governor.
• The person seen in the footage wore sunglasses, a baseball cap, jeans, and a black long‑sleeve shirt featuring an eagle over the U.S. flag, and investigators noted hand, palm, forearm, and shoe impressions that could yield DNA.
• President Trump stated a suspected killer had been arrested and called for the death penalty, a claim not confirmed by law enforcement in the reports cited.
• Political reaction has intensified, with senior Republicans blaming Democrats and media figures, some officials urging calmer rhetoric, threats prompting several HBCUs to suspend classes, and State Department officials signaling visa consequences for foreigners who glorify the killing.
