OREM, UTAH – Authorities in Utah have released four new photographs of the primary suspect in the murder of 31-year-old activist Charlie Kerk, who was shot and killed while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. The suspect’s identity remains unknown.
The newly released images, similar to previously circulated photos, depict a young man wearing a jockey cap and dark sunglasses, obscuring his facial features. However, investigators say the suspect’s clothing, shoes, and backpack are clearly visible and may aid in identification.
