Federal investigators have obtained surveillance footage that they believe is highly significant in the ongoing investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

According to the FBI, video collected from neighborhood cameras in Orem, Utah, appears to show the identified person of interest walking toward the Utah Valley University (UVU) campus shortly before the shooting occurred.

The footage, timestamped at 11:49 a.m. on Wednesday, depicts a man dressed entirely in black, consistent with the description released by federal authorities.

The individual is seen moving along a residential street near the UVU campus, exhibiting a pronounced hobbling gait.

Officials believe this unusual movement may be due to the concealment of a firearm under his clothing.

Just three minutes later, at 11:52 a.m., the FBI confirmed the suspect arrived on the UVU campus where Kirk was shot. Investigators have since recovered a bolt-action rifle — specifically, a Mauser .30-06 — at the scene.

Authorities suspect the weapon was hidden beneath the suspect’s clothing, which may explain the irregular manner of walking captured on video.

Additional footage recorded shortly after the shooting shows a contrasting scene: students calmly evacuating the area along a paved road, while, in the background, an individual dressed in black can be seen running through an unpaved section of a residential backyard.

Investigators are working to determine whether this figure is the same individual observed earlier on neighborhood surveillance.

The FBI has confirmed that agents canvassed the surrounding neighborhood extensively, collecting security video from private residences and businesses.

Those recordings, now in the possession of federal law enforcement, are being closely analyzed as part of the manhunt for the gunman.

Federal officials continue to urge members of the public with relevant information or additional video footage to come forward, emphasizing that these materials are critical to advancing the investigation.
