The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released photos of a person of interest in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The FBI photos show a “college age” white or Hispanic male wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, dark jeans, a black cap and sunglasses.

“We do have good video of this individual. We are not going to release that at this time,” said Beau Mason, Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner on Thursday. “We’re working through some technologies and some ways to identity this individual.”

“We have tracked his movements onto the campus, through the stairwells, up to the roof, across the river to a shooting location,” Mason explained. “After the shooting, we were able to track his movements as he moved to the other side of the building, jumped off of the building and fled off of the campus into a neighborhood.”

Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem, north of Provo on Wednesday, Sept. 10.

The suspect fired a single shot from a rooftop about 200 yards away from Kirk’s location in “the bowl” on campus.

The man jumped off the building and fled into a wooded area. Police found a high-powered, bolt action rifle wrapped in a towel and discarded in the woods near the UVU campus.

According to authorities, all of the cartridges in the rifle were engraved with words “expressing transgender and anti-fascist (Antifa) ideology.”

However, CNN reported the cartridge engravings as “cultural issues”.

The FBI stated the public is not at risk. Usually that means the suspect’s ID is known to authorities.

President Donald Trump announced that he will posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S.

Trump also ordered all flags at the White House and government buildings to be flown at half-staff until Sunday at 6 p.m. to honor the memory of Kirk.

“Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty, and an inspiration to millions and millions of people,” Trump said. “We miss him greatly, yet I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on.”
