The FBI released two photos of a person of interest they believe to be connected to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. They are offering $100,000 for information that can help result in the arrest of those responsible for yesterday's murder.

The shooter is believed to be college-aged and to have blended into the crowd following yesterday's shooting after jumping off the roof from where they carried out the attack, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety. The .30 caliber bolt-action rifle believed to be used to kill Kirk was found in the woods wrapped in a towel.

According to a law enforcement official who spoke to the Wall Street Journal, cops found ammunition with engraved markings “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology," both in the spent cartridge in the rifle and additional rounds in the magazine.

The FBI is asking the public for tips on the whereabouts or any information on the shooter. They can call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

You can also submit digital media tips to the FBI.
