• Manhunt continues: Authorities are still searching for the person who killed conservative political activist Charlie Kirk in a shooting that stunned the US. We still don’t know the suspect’s name or whereabouts.
• New footage: Authorities released footage they said shows the suspect fleeing after the killing. A different video obtained by CNN shows a person matching the suspect’s description walking in a residential area near the crime scene before the shooting.
• The investigation: Authorities have asked for the public’s help and offered a reward of up to $100,000 for any information that leads to the shooter’s identification and arrest. Officials will pursue the death penalty once the suspect is found, Utah’s governor said.
Several memorials have popped up at Turning Point USA Headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, as mourners gathered outside to pay their respects to conservative political activist Charlie Kirk.
“I just had to come out today because this was a really heartless act, and I feel so sad. And I feel like when we’re trying to be silenced, we need to come together as a whole and be a family,” said Jenna Gill.
Kirk led the conservative organization, boosting young voter turnout for President Donald Trump in Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania during the 2024 presidential campaign. His allies now have vowed to channel their grief and anger into developing a new, younger generation of conservative politicians and activists.
What we know — and don’t — about the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s killing as the manhunt enters day 3
From CNN staff
Utah authorities have released new video of the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s killing and renewed pleas for the public’s help in bringing the shooter to justice.
The video shows a person lying “prone” on the corner of a campus building’s roof before getting up, running across the roof and dropping down onto the lawn, all while carrying a backpack.
“The suspect, after dropping off the building, moved around across this grass area around the parking lot,” said Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason, who narrated the video on a large screen during a news conference.
