Utah law enforcement officials released new video footage between 2:31 AM and 2:45 AM UTC on September 12th, 2025, detailing the escape route of the suspected shooter in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The video shows the shooter's precise path from the roof of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University immediately after the September 10th killing. The FBI has been investigating the assassination, having previously released CCTV footage showing the shooter running across a roof and jumping from a building. Trace evidence, including shoe impressions, a forearm imprint, and a palm print, was collected from the rooftop where the shot was taken. The shooter's weapon and ammunition were recovered near Utah Valley University, according to previous reports. The motive for Kirk's assassination remains undetermined. In related news, a memorial for Charlie Kirk was held at the Turning Point USA headquarters. President Donald Trump previously called the killing "disgraceful" and announced plans to award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously. The McDonald's flag at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was lowered to half-mast by order of President Trump in honor of Kirk, a tribute set to continue until sunset on September 14th. Vice President JD Vance participated in an honor guard for Kirk in Salt Lake City, Utah. Utah Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason reiterated that authorities "have no idea" where the killer might be. Governor Spencer Cox had warned that "Russian and Chinese bots" are attempting to "encourage violence" online in connection with Kirk's assassination. Earlier, Representative Nancy Mace had commented, "It sounds like the shooter was a tranny, or pro-tranny." The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to an arrest, and photos of a person of interest have been released.
