CCTV shows the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect running across the roof of the Utah Valley University campus building, before climbing down and fleeing into a nearby wooded area on Wednesday, 10 September.

In a picture shown alongside the footage, the suspect can be seen wearing black trousers, a black long-sleeved t-shirt with an American flag on, and a cap with a triangle on it, while investigators said: "he left palm impressions, smudges, some places we're looking to collect DNA" and a shoe imprint, which indicates he was wearing “Converse tennis shoes”.

The right-wing political activist, 31, was fatally shot while on stage at an outdoor speaking event.
