JUST IN: FBI Releases Photos of Person of Interest in Charlie Kirk Assassination
Utah — The FBI on Thursday released surveillance photos of an individual identified as a person of interest in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The agency is now asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the individual.
The images, which were taken from a nearby security camera, show the unidentified person walking in the vicinity of the crime scene shortly before the fatal incident occurred. Officials have not yet disclosed the individual’s potential connection to the assassination but emphasized the importance of locating and questioning the person.
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in a targeted attack earlier this week while attending a private event in Salt Lake City. His death has sparked nationwide outrage and speculation, with many calling for a swift and transparent investigation.
In a statement, the FBI urged anyone with information about the individual in the photos to come forward immediately. “This person may have critical information related to the case. We are urging anyone who recognizes them to contact the FBI or their local law enforcement agency,” the statement read.
No arrests have been made at this time, and investigators are continuing to pursue multiple leads.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit tips online at fbi.gov.
