Charlie Kirk ‘Predicted’ His Own Death In Tweet 11 Years Ago
The investigation into Charlie Kirk’s killing continues as authorities process thousands of public tips. Officials have released new images of a person of interest and confirmed the recovery of a high-powered, bolt-action rifle believed to be the murder weapon.
Authorities describe the suspect as a slender, college-aged male seen on security footage ascending to a rooftop minutes before the attack. The individual was wearing a dark hat, sunglasses, and a long-sleeved top. After firing the single shot that struck Kirk in the neck, the gunman fled toward a wooded area near the Utah Valley University campus.
A major manhunt is underway, yet the shooter remains unidentified and at large. Utah’s governor has stated the case will be pursued as a death-penalty matter once a suspect is arrested and charged.
The FBI is offering a reward for information and has asked the public to review official surveillance clips. They have also urged people to avoid spreading unverified images and AI-generated content, which has complicated the investigation by circulating misinformation online.
From the White House to state capitols, elected officials have universally condemned the assassination. President Donald Trump confirmed Kirk’s death and announced he will posthumously award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Law enforcement is focusing on physical evidence, including palm prints from the rooftop and shoe impressions. Investigators are urging anyone with information or original video from the event to contact the FBI tip line.
The killing has rattled university communities, sparking a review of security protocols for polarizing speaking events. The immediate focus for investigators remains on identifying the suspect and reconstructing their movements.
