The investigation into the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University

has intensified as the FBI released new surveillance photos of a suspect. The man, dressed in dark clothing,

sunglasses, and a black backpack, was captured inside a campus building shortly before the attack.

Authorities are offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

Investigators also recovered a high-powered rifle in a wooded area near where the suspect was last seen fleeing.

Forensic evidence, including a palm print and footwear impressions, is under analysis. The FBI’s

Salt Lake City Field Office reported more than 130 tips so far, emphasizing that even small details could be critical.

The shooting caused chaos among the crowd of about 3,000. Many initially mistook the gunfire for part of the event,

but panic erupted after Kirk was struck on stage. Officials say the precision of the attack indicates the shooter

had firearms experience, complicating the case.Federal and local authorities have dedicated full resources to the search,

calling the incident a direct threat to free speech and public safety. National leaders, including President Trump

and Vice President Vance, expressed grief and urged vigilance. Tips can be submitted via 1-800-CALL-FBI or online.
