Utah authorities admit they have “no idea” where Charlie Kirk’s assassin may be as the manhunt enters day three. FBI offers $100,000 reward for information.
Authorities in Utah have given a grim update on the ongoing search for the assassin of Charlie Kirk, as the manhunt entered its third day.
Kirk, 31, was fatally shot on September 10 while speaking at a Turning Point USA debate event at Utah Valley University. He was struck in the neck while discussing gun violence and later died in hospital from his injuries.
FBI Leads Nationwide Search
The FBI and Utah law enforcement have been urgently pursuing leads since the attack, releasing video footage and still images of the suspected shooter. Investigators say the gunman fired a single shot before jumping off a rooftop and fleeing into the community.
Beau Mason, Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner, admitted in an interview with NBC News that officials are struggling to narrow the search:
“We have no idea. We’re exploring leads for individuals that live close by. We literally have persons of interest, tips coming in on the tip line, that are spanning far and wide.”
Evidence Found at the Scene
The FBI confirmed that trace evidence was collected from the rooftop, including shoe impressions, a forearm imprint, and a palm print. In addition, the shooter’s weapon and ammunition were later recovered from a wooded area near the university.
The FBI Salt Lake City office wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“Following the shooting, the individual jumps from a rooftop and runs away from the location.”
Public Urged to Help
Utah Governor Spencer Cox called on citizens to step forward with any information, describing the suspect as “this evil human.”
“We cannot do our job without the public’s help right now,” Cox said.
The FBI has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the shooter.
