Videos allegedly show Charlie Kirk's killer before and after fatal shot fired
Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer is seen fleeing from a building rooftop moments after the fatal bullet was fired, according to a new video posted online Wednesday evening by Dustin Ivers.
In the four-second video, taken from inside Utah Valley University’s Hall of Flags building, the camera pans over the crowd of several thousand people in the open-air amphitheatre where Kirk’s The American Comeback Tour was taking place as panic sets in.
In the background, a person is barely and briefly visible fleeing from the rooftop of a building in the distance. Very little is known about the suspect, who remains at large but is reportedly of college age. FBI in Salt Lake City released photos of a “person of interest” — a male wearing a black baseball hat and sunglasses on Thursday.

While law enforcement hasn’t specifically pinpointed the location from where the shot was fired, the university, in a Wednesday press conference, identified it as the Losee Student Success Center, which is roughly 350 feet from where Kirk was speaking beneath a tent.
In drone footage of the site shot by independent journalist Taylor Hansen on Thursday, police tape is visible on one of the building’s roofs.

Another video captured by an unnamed person just before Kirk was killed and later shared on X by another Utah-based Chris Hardman appears to show someone lying on their stomach on top of the Losee building.
The unidentified person taking the video zooms in on the unmoving shape and says, “So there’s somebody on the roof right there,” and indicates that the person “ran” from one side to the other.

Hardman later posted that the FBI had obtained the video as part of its investigation.
Officials said Thursday that they have been able to track the shooter’s movements from when he arrived “onto the campus, through the stairwells, up to the roof” where they believe the shot was fired.
After the shooting, FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Bowles said the suspect jumped from the roof and fled. Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason added that the suspect “blended in well with a college institution,” noting the individual “appears to be of college age.”
Authorities are also in possession of a high-powered, bolt-action rifle found in a wooded area where the suspect had fled. According to the Wall Street Journal, the gun contained ammunition that was engraved with transgender and antifascist message.
