PEOPLE attend a vigil Wednesday in Seattle for right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

Authorities unveiled grainy photos Thursday of a man clad ina black, long-sleeved T-shirt, dark sunglasses and a baseball cap who they said was “of interest” in the fatal shooting of influential right-wing activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah college campus.

The man, captured on security camera video walking up a stairway, appears to be wearing a T-shirt with anim-age of an American flag and aneagle.

“We are asking for the public’s help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University,” the Federal Bureau of Investigation Salt Lake City said on X.

No suspects were in custody more than 24 hours after the shooting. However, Robert Bohls, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Salt Lake City office, said investigators recovered the weapon they believe was used to kill Kirk — a high-powered bolt-action rifle. They also identified foot and palm prints believed to have been left behind by the shooter.

We “will continue to work nonstop until we find the person that has committed this heinous crime, and find out why they did it,” Bohls said.

The agency also announced a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of the gunman.

A close ally of President Trump who founded the conservative youth group Turning Point USA, Kirk was killed Wednesday by a single shot fired from the rooftop of a nearby building as he addressed questions about mass shootings and transgender people at the Orem campus.

The killing of a beloved figure in American conservatism a man who relished debate and challenging left-wing orthodoxies on college campuses - has roiled national politics. Over the last decade, the 31-year-old forged connections with leading figures of the Trump administration.
