Federal investigators at the FBI’s Salt Lake City field office released new surveillance footage on X late Thursday showing the suspect in the political assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk fleeing the scene by leaping off a rooftop at Utah Valley University.

The FBI wrote in a note accompanying the video:
The FBI is releasing a video of the shooter in the Utah Valley shooting. The subject is seen jumping from the rooftop of a building after the shooting. Around 12 p.m. Mountain Time on September 10, 2025, the subject climbed up to a rooftop; after he shot and killed Charlie Kirk, he jumped off and ran away. He left a gun and ammunition in a wooded area 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-CALL-FBI or visit fbi.gov/utahvalleyshooting.

On Wednesday night, President Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office on the senseless political assassination of Kirk, calling it a “dark moment for America.” He vowed to crack down on radical left movements across the country that have sparked death and destruction so far this year.
In fact, the Texan News reporter Cameron Abrams wrote on X that Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and two dozen others in Congress are calling for a select committee on “the money, influence, and power behind the radical left’s assault on America and the rule of law.”
“Enough is enough. We must follow the money to identify the perpetrators of the coordinated anti-American assaults being carried out against us and take all steps under the law necessary to stop them,” the lawmakers stated.

Tony Seruga wrote on X, “I will say this is looking more and more like an orchestrated professional hit. Despite what news will eventually break regarding the shooter, understand foreign isn’t really foreign when it comes assassins. It’s called plausible deniability. The leviathan/matrix/deep state likely has already crafted and perfected their narrative.”
