Charlie Kirk, founding father of turn repoint USA, was fatally shot while attending an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. The 31-year-old Donald Trump ally was in a tent when the shot hit him in the neck. Kirk was shifted to a hospital and declared dead later, with President Trump announcing the news of his passing on Truth Social.
While videos of the event show the horror unfold, a person standing behind Kirk has drawn the attention of many people online. Clips of this person, dressed in white, wearing shades and a cap, have been circulating on social media. He can be seen making hand gestures like touching his cap, while standing behind Kirk.
Grok, meanwhile, stated “Based on the video, the man in the white hat resembles Frank Turek, a Christian apologist, but the footage is unclear, so I can't confirm with high confidence without better angles. No public reports indicate he's submitted any video to the FBI regarding the Charlie Kirk incident. Turek's ties to Israel include leading Christian tours there (e.g., with Living Passages), archaeological visits, and podcasts supporting Israel from a biblical viewpoint. He has no reported political or governmental affiliations.”
The FBI released a photo of a 'person of interest' in Kirk's shooting, and has announced a reward of $100,000 for any information on said individual.
Authorities also said on Thursday that they had recovered a high-powered, bolt-action rifle they believe was used in the attack and were reviewing video footage of the person they believe to have been behind the assassination.
