Authorities have released footage of Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer fleeing the scene on foot as their search for the suspect continues.
In a Thursday evening press conference, Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed the footage, which shows the shooter lying prone on top of the Utah Valley University’s Sorenson Center.
The footage then follows the suspect running across the rooftop before climbing off the edge and dropping to the ground.
Beau Mason, Commissioner of the Utah Department of Public Safety, explained that the suspect left ”palm impressions, some smudges… [and] a shoe imprint,” all of which authorities are looking to collect DNA from.
Mason noted that the suspect was wearing a baseball cap, a black t-shirt with an American flag and an eagle, black pants, and Converse shoes. Images released by the FBI of the suspect earlier on Thursday show a man in the same outfit, and authorities are asking members of the public to keep an eye out for anyone matching his description.
The video, taken from across the parking lot located behind the building, shows the suspect moving around the parking lot and across the street into a wooded area near campus.
Authorities continued to appeal to the public for more information on the suspect’s identity or whereabouts.
”We have pushed these out and we will continue to push these out, and we just ask for the public’s cooperation. Through the public, the tips that have been coming in are giving us our next leads and enabling us to continue to further this investigation,” Mason said.
”We’ve had great cooperation from the public, and we continue to ask for that as we move forward.”
Governor Cox told reporters that authorities have received more than 7000 leads and tips, the most digital media tips the FBI has received from the public since the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.
Cox added that 20 state and federal law enforcement partners are working together as the search for the suspect continues, and authorities have already completed nearly 200 interviews.
The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the shooter.
