The FBI has released footage of a ‘person of interest’ in the search for Charlie Kirk’s killer.
There’s also a huge reward for information and new details on a potential suspect.
Investigators have discovered a rifle believed to be used to kill the American right-wing influencer.
The 31-year-old was shot while addressing a crowd of about three thousand people at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Utah Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason Told NBC News it was “easy” for the suspected shooter to access the roof of a building inside the uni and open fire.
The building reportedly had open pathways and lacked locked doors.
Commissioner Mason said after the shooting, the suspected shooter jumped from the roof down to a grassy area, out through a parking lot and fled into the woods.
Mason adds that the single shot that killed Kirk was fired from a distance of 160 metres – which is considered an “average shot” for a skilled rifleman.
But, he said, that doesn’t necessarily make the suspect an ‘expert’ gunman.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 (that’s 150,000 Aussie dollars) for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the person or persons responsible.
