Although they received over 100 tips, authorities announced new developments in the killing of Charlie Kirk and are offering a reward to help identify the shooter.

The Salt Lake City Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has yet to identify the suspect behind the death of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk during a public event at Utah Valley University, but is urging anyone with relevant photos, videos, or information to come forward.

According to the agency’s website on Thursday, September 11, 2025, the FBI is offering a $100,000 reward as the investigation into the fatal shooting expands. Tips can be submitted by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI or through the FBI’s online portal.

In a press statement released the same day, FBI Salt Lake City Field Office Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls said a high-powered rifle — believed to have been used in the attack — was recovered in a wooded area where the suspect reportedly fled after the shooting.

“This morning, I can tell you that we have recovered what we believe is the weapon used in yesterday’s shooting,” Bohls said. The firearm is now being examined at the FBI Laboratory.

Agents also recovered additional physical evidence from the same location, including a footwear impression, palm print, and forearm imprints. More than 130 tips have been submitted by the public and are being reviewed alongside the forensic evidence.

“All leads and tips are being fully investigated,” Bohls added. “The FBI has brought every resource to bear, and we will continue to do so throughout the course of this investigation.”

Though the motive remains unclear, investigators say the case carries broader implications. “Any attack on the First Amendment is an attack on the very foundation of our democracy,” Bohls said. “That is why we will relentlessly pursue this case until the shooter is in custody.”
