Moment Charlie Kirk shooting suspect 'leaps from rooftop' before fleeing as FBI offer $100k reward for capture

Investigators are appealing for help locating the man pictured, with the FBI offering a $100,000 reward for information that could lead to his identification.

"We are seeking the public's help in identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University," a statement from Utah's Department of Public Safety read.

CCTV footage shows the man is shown wearing a black top with what appears to be a USA flag in the middle, along with sunglasses and a black hat with a white logo.

He is seen in the footage running across a building roof and jumping off, before casually strolling towards a street at the edge of the campus and fleeing the scene through a wooded area.

A high-powered bolt action rifle used to shoot and kill Kirk has been recovered by officials, but they still have 'have no idea' about the suspect's identity or where he may be located.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox told a press conference early Friday morning (BST) that more than 7,000 leads and tips have been submitted by the public - the largest number the FBI has received on an incident since the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.

More than 200 interviews have so far been completed as part of the investigation.

Robert Bohls, the FBI special agent in charge of the case, said: "I assure you that all leads and tips are being fully investigated."

He asked anyone with video or images from the shooting to hand them over to the FBI.

The FBI discovered the rifle in a nearby woods after tracking the suspect's movements - revealing the shooter fled into a nearby neighbourhood.

Investigators have since discovered and are analysing a "footwear impression, a paw print and a forearm imprint", the agency said.

Father-of-two Kirk was shot in the neck 20 minutes into a student-sponsored event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

Kirk, who was known for holding outdoor debates on campuses across the US, was responding to a question from an audience member about mass shootings when a shot rang out.

Graphic footage shared online shows Kirk sustained a serious injury to his neck. Spectators can be seen screaming and running away after the shot was fired.

Kirk was rushed to hospital but just a few hours later President Donald Trump announced Kirk's death on Truth Social.

He wrote: "The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.

"He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!"

Trump released a video in which he said: "This is a dark moment for America."

He said his administration would "find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence".

Trump claimed "radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people".

Kirk's wife and children were reportedly at the event when he was shot.

The event had been met with divided opinions on campus. An online petition calling for university administrators to bar Kirk from appearing received nearly 1,000 signatures.

The university issued a statement last week citing First Amendment rights and affirming its "commitment to free speech, intellectual inquiry, and constructive dialogue".
