New video shows Charlie Kirk assassin’s daring escape after killing conservative activist
A new video released by the FBI shows the still-at-large person of interest in Charlie Kirk’s assassination leaping off his rooftop sniper’s den and dashing away minutes after shooting the conservative activist dead Wednesday.
The clip from the Utah Valley University campus was shared by the Bureau and the Utah Department of Public Safety during a press conference Thursday night in which officials gave no new updates on any relevant leads or arrests.
The video shows the alleged assassin, wearing all black, run across the roof of a campus building, slow near the edge and then scale down to ground level before nonchalantly walking through a parking lot and towards a wooded area — where he dropped the gun.
During his quick escape, the man left behind a palm impression and other smudges on the roof that authorities said could be used to collect DNA and narrow down the search.

Officials noted that they are still heavily relying on the public’s assistance identifying the supposed assassin and pointed to their tip line and $100,000 reward as motivation.
So far, the FBI has received a staggering 7,000 tips in connection with the assassination – the most since the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013.
