The manhunt is still ongoing for the person who assassinated Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. During an update by law enforcement Thursday night, the FBI and Utah Department of Public Safety shared a new video and asked the public for its help.
Gov. Spencer Cox also made a promise.
“We've been working with our attorneys getting everything that we need, affidavits ready, so that we can pursue the death penalty in this case,” Cox said. “That will happen here in the state of Utah.”
The video shows a person, whom the police are calling a man, jumping off the roof of the Losse Center into a grassy area. The individual then proceeds through the parking lot and crosses the street. After that, police say that’s when the suspect went into a wooded area and left the weapon, a high-powered, bolt-action rifle.
The pictures and video show an individual wearing a black t-shirt with an American flag and eagle on it, and denim jeans. The individual is also wearing Converse shoes, which law enforcement said they have a footprint of. The suspect also wore a baseball cap with a triangle on it, sunglasses and a backpack. Police say the individual had originally climbed onto the roof around noon local time.
Law enforcement is asking for anyone who knows someone who was wearing those items to report it to the FBI’s digital tip line, as well as any other tips, photos or videos.

The photos and video were released, Cox said, so “we can get help from the public in tracking down this evil human being.”
The governor stood by FBI Director Kash Patel, who flew into Utah Thursday. Officials did not take any questions from reporters.
Cox said police have already completed nearly 200 interviews. And they have received more than 7,000 leads and tips from the public already, which Cox said the FBI hasn’t received an amount like that since the Boston Marathon bombings. The FBI has also offered a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of the shooter.
