Charlie Kirk suspect filmed jumping off roof to his escape and blending into the crowd as FBI officials say wanted man continues to elude them as internet sleuths claim they have discovered the assassin to be that of Utah transgender, Skye Valadez who released a son on Soundcloud months ago titled, ‘Charlie Kirk dead at 31.’
FBI officials have released surveillance footage of the gunman who allegedly shot and killed Charlie Kirk ‘jumping off the roof’ and escaping in the immediate moments after opening fire from a sniper position some 200 yards where the conservative firebrand was speaking.

The alleged suspect jumped off of a roof and then minutes later “left a gun in the woods across the street…”
Watch the video, look at the gun that they apparently “found in the woods”, and then explain it to me like you still trust your government. #CharlieKirk pic.twitter.com/mJSWE9dsQB

Where did Charlie Kirk assassin flee to?
In the footage, the suspect could be seen running across the roof of the Lossee Center at Utah Valley University in Orem.
Once he reaches the edge, the suspect could then be seen climbing down and jumping onto the ground – leaving behind a palm print and a shoe print, which FBI officials are using for DNA testing in their bid to identify the Charlie Kirk assassin.
Footage shows the wanted man running from the building before beginning to blend and stroll with the crowd. The gunman according to the FBI then casually walks toward a street at the edge of campus, where police say he ducked into a wooded area, from where investigators later located a high-powered rifle, in which three remaining bullets in the chamber matched the one used to kill Kirk.
The bullets according to the FBI were etched with transgender and anti-fascist ideations.
The suspect then apparently fled into a residential neighborhood.
Beau Mason, the head of Utah’s Department Public Safety, said officials ‘have no idea’ about the suspect’s identity or where he may be located.
Nevertheless internet sleuths believe they have uncovered the identity of the alleged gunman as transgender Utah musician of Ogden going by the name of Skye Valadez.
Released FBI images of the shooter wearing a distinctive t-shirt and a baseball cap with a triangle on it appear to match those of the alleged shooter uncovered on the internet. The alleged assassin, had months ago according to sleuths released a musical project on Soundcloud titled, God’s Finest Scalpel titled ‘Death to American Scum’ featuring a track called ‘Charlie Kirk’s death isn’t enough for me.’

The song, ‘Charlie Kirk Dead at 31,’ was released on SoundCloud and archived online as early as March 2025, months before Kirk’s killing. The song nor the album could no longer be found on Soundcloud along with Valadez’s social media accounts which were momentarily taken down some time, Thursday afternoon.
While authorities have yet to publicly respond to claims that the assassin is that of the Valadez, authorities who are now offering $100K for information leading to the arrest of the alleged shooter have asked the public to be on the lookout for the suspect.
‘We cannot do our job without the public’s help right now,’ Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said at a news conference Thursday night, adding that authorities have already received over 7,000 tips and have conducted more than 200 interviews.
‘We’re exploring leads for individuals that live close by,’ Mason told NBC News.
‘We literally have persons of interest, tips coming in on the tip line that are spanning far and wide.’
It had earlier been reported that officials had the name of the suspect, but were not releasing it to the public.
