utah officials show new video of suspect fleeing roof in charlie kirk

OREM, Utah (CNN) - The FBI and Utah police are asking for the public’s help to identify the shooter who killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Officials released video on Thursday night that shows the suspect. The suspect can be seen dropping from the roof of a building after the shooting at Utah Valley University. Then, the FBI said the shooter ran across a grass space by a parking lot and into a nearby wooded area where a gun was found. The suspect left palm smudges on the building that may contain DNA, according to investigators. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a new video of Charlie Kirk's suspected shooter, fleeing the scene of the crime moments after a single bullet pierced through the conservative activist's neck.

In the video, the suspect can be seen running across the roof, dropping over the edge, before entering a wooded area on the Utah Valley University campus 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," the FBI said in a statement. "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.

In the video, the suspect is seen wearing a long-sleeve black shirt, a hat, sunglasses and a backpack. At one point, the figure can be seen limping before increasing his pace again. The Utah Governor, during a briefing on Friday, stated that a "tremendous" amount of disinformation is circulating online and urged people not to share it further.
