No name or location: Authorities release new video of person of interest escaping Charlie Kirk shooting site

A day after Charlie Kirk’s death, the law enforcement authorities have released a new video and photos of a person of interest. The authorities have requested public assistance to identify and locate the person. Earlier, two people were detained and later released, as they did not have any link to the shooting at the Utah event, where Kirk was speaking before he was shot. Officials said they are still unable to find and name the individual who orchestrated the attack on the 31-year-old conservative activist.

The sniper who allegedly targeted Kirk from the terrace of a building is still on the loose. The authorities have broadcast his photos and want the public to help in finding him. US President Donald Trump said the investigators were making progress in tracing the shooter, who fired at Kirk. The incident took place when he was addressing students in Utah. It was attended by around 3,000 people.

On Thursday (September 11), Trump said, "Charlie was giant of his generation. We miss him greatly." He made the comments at the Pentagon September 11th Observance ceremony. The president declared him a martyr and said, “To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror.”

"Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people. He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there's never been anyone who was so respected by youth. Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith. And we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in heaven," he added.

Kirk has been a MAGA promoter and has been vocal about his views on gun laws.
