Charlie Kirk assassination video: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Friday released a fresh video of the suspected shooter involved in the assassination of conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. The 31-year-old Republican youth leader was fatally shot on September 10 while addressing students at Utah Valley University.
The newly released footage shows the suspect fleeing across the rooftop moments after firing a single round that struck Kirk in the neck. The man, dressed in black with a cap, sunglasses, and a backpack, can be seen running to the edge of the building before leaping off and disappearing into a wooded area adjacent to the campus.
According to the FBI statement, the shooter was wearing a black long-sleeve shirt featuring an American flag with an eagle design, dark pants, and Converse tennis shoes with visible white soles. Investigators noted the suspect appeared to limp briefly before regaining speed.
