Nut Graf Investigators disclosed footage showing an individual dressed in black, limping near Utah Valley University shortly before the attack, underscoring the urgency of public assistance in identifying and capturing the suspect.

Video Shows Suspect Fleeing Scene

  • The footage, recorded minutes before the shooting, shows the individual moving across a residential street toward the event venue.

Reward and Call for Public Tips

  • Authorities released enhanced still images alongside the video, appealing to college students and residents in Orem, Utah, to come forward with tips.

Vice President’s Ongoing Tribute Second Lady Usha Vance met privately with Kirk’s widow, Erika, in Salt Lake City as Vice President J.D. Vance prepared to accompany the casket to Arizona aboard Air Force Two. The White House flag remains at half-staff through September 14 by presidential proclamation.
