Authorities in Utah have made public new details surrounding the investigation into the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The Utah Department of Public Safety confirmed that forensic teams found palm impressions and a shoe print at the scene, which are believed to belong to the suspect.
Officials also released surveillance footage on Friday that captures the alleged shooter fleeing the site. In the video, the individual can be seen running across a rooftop shortly after the gunfire. Investigators say the clip is a crucial piece of evidence that could assist in tracking the suspect’s movements and eventual arrest.
Charlie Kirk, 31, was the founder of Turning Point USA, a group known for promoting conservative ideas among young Americans. He was attending an event at Utah Valley University on September 10 when the shooting occurred. Emergency responders arrived quickly, but Kirk was declared dead from gunshot injuries.
The attack has drawn national attention, both because of Kirk’s political influence and because it took place on a university campus, raising concerns over event security and political violence. Law enforcement agencies are now working with federal investigators to review the newly discovered evidence.
Police have not released the suspect’s identity but confirmed that the investigation is progressing rapidly. Authorities urged the public to come forward with any information that could help in identifying or locating the person involved.
For now, officials emphasize that more updates will be provided as the inquiry moves forward.
