New video from the FBI has been released that captures the suspected gunman who shot conservative activist Charlie Kirk running away after a single shot hit him in the neck. The suspect can be seen running across a rooftop, falling off, and then vanishing into a wooded part of the campus of Utah Valley University after the shooting.
In a release, the FBI stated, "At approximately 12 p.m. Mountain Time on September 10, 2025, the suspect ascended to the rooftop; after he fired and murdered Charlie Kirk, he leaped off and fled. He abandoned a gun and ammunition in a thicket outside near the university."
"Trace evidence collected from the rooftop scene included shoe impressions, a forearm imprint, and a palm print. Anyone with information in this case should call the FBI at 1-800-FBI or visit fbi.gov/utahvalleyshooting," it added.
The video captures the suspect wearing a long-sleeve black shirt, hat, sunglasses, and a backpack. Briefly, he also limps before getting back to walking.

Our adversaries want violence," he said, claiming that Russian and Chinese bots on social media are playing a role in spreading disinformation.
"Multiple leads are currently being investigated, but no suspect is in custody," Utah law enforcement officials posted.
