The FBI published two photos of an interest on Thursday, while the search for Charlie Kirk’s murderer continues.
The authorities requested public help to identify it. “We request public help to identify this person of interest in relation to the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at the Utah University,” wrote the FBI local office in Salt Lake City.
They recovered the rifle used and announced a reward of $ 100,000 for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the person responsible for the death of the young conservative activist.
Utah’s Public Security Commissioner, Beau Mason, indicated that they could track the suspect from his arrival at the Utah University Campus at 11:52 am to his escape from the place after a single shot around 12:20 pm
The researchers, according to Mason, have contacted the residents of a nearby neighborhood to verify if there were witnesses or cameras that captured the suspect leaving the area.
Mason said that “it seems to be university age” and that it managed to easily integrate between the multitude of the Utah Valley University that had gathered to listen to Kirk’s speech.
Two people of interest were arrested on Wednesday, but ended up being released after the authorities determined that they were not involved in the murder.
Mason also asked the population to stop harassing the two people who have already been released. “Any attack on the first amendment is an attack on the very foundations of our democracy, so we will tirelessly investigate this case and the shooter until we find it.”
The Utah University University announced that its campus will remain closed until Sunday.
Trump announced that he would posthumously grant Kirk the presidential medal of La Libertad, the greatest civil honor in the country.
