UT - Charlie Kirk Murdered on Utah College Stage *Arrest*

Considering they haven't been able to identify him yet makes me think he had a face mask to change his looks. It's kinda weird no one have been able to tell who it is yet, if that is what he really looks like.
MOO

I noticed his shirt has an American flag but can't make out what is over the flag.

He also has some weird thing going on with his ear — Deformation? Infected piercing?

I agree. The photos are clear. Someone has to know this guy.

I posted that hat earlier and deleted it. It doesn't have the eyelets. If you go up this page a bit, I posted what I believe to be the right hat.

Good catch with the ear! Could be from wrestling or any fighting sports, recent or in the younger years.

Salt Lake City, is an easy place to get lost, I-15 north and south, I-80, east, west. Can be in a car, and anywhere. Get lost in a small town in Nevada, or Montana. Looks like any number of kids in college. Blend in. Even Las Vegas or Denver, so many places.

he looks like a million other people to me- lanky and dark haired... but beyond that...a friend or family member might recognize him, but I cannot tell you how many times a bank robber picture looked like some one at work (and was not).

In the press conf tonight, they say "eagle"

And good observation on him being left handed. I agree based on which hand he is holding on with.

He also picked up the gun with his left hand as well when he got to the ground.

 

[Ghostwheel]

Where was the weapon as he jumped off the building? How was it conveyed into the wooded area?

Look carefully as he gets up off the grass. The rifle is in is left hand. It is wrapped in something dark, but that's the rifle.

ETA: He kept shifting the rifle back and forth between hands as he walked away. I thought he picked it up with his left hand, but now I see I could have been wrong as he shifted back and forth. But as he exited, definitely left hand. The whole thing is so...odd.

Not fingerprints, though. It was DNA

@othram

If there is DNA in this case, the suspect can be identified rather quickly...

I wonder if the forearm "print" from the building is a possible location of DNA

You've gotta think there's DNA on that rifle. Sure would be a shame not to put it to work in the meantime, while you're going down all the traditional avenues.

Completely agree. There could be DNA also on surfaces that the suspect touched.

Thank you. The shooter defintely had help. I'd love to see surveillance camera footage from an hour before and after the shooting from traffic lights, stores, houses, businesses within say a 5 mile radius of the campus (including anything captured on campus).

 

[crhedBngr]

That was a big jump.

Yes, it was.

To me, it looks more like he tried to steady himself, then fell down, and had some trouble getting to his feet (might have injured one leg), and then took off.

If he is injured, he may not have felt pain right away. He was running on adrenalin; he just wanted to get away from the scene.

Once the adrenaline subsides, pain may set in with a vengeance. If so, hopefully they're not only checking neighborhood cameras, but possibly Walmart or CVS to see if anyone fitting his description bought pain-relief items.

ETA: I see other posters have come to this possible conclusion as well.

JMVHO.

IF the rifle found is the murder weapon. It doesn't seem likely this person was worried about leaving fingerprints.

What if video dude isn't the shooter? How do we know that's THE suspect/

What are the chances that a random guy is running along the roof right after the shot was fired and he had nothing to do with the crime?

Does anyone know about the two men standing behind Charlie Kirk right before he was shot? It seemed like they were signaling something. I haven't seen any more about it.
