Newly-released surveillance footage shows the gunman who fatally shot Charlie Kirk jumping off the roof and escaping in the moments after opening fire.
In the footage, the suspect could be seen running across the roof of the Lossee Center at Utah Valley University.
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.
He then runs from the building and starts strolling with the crowd as he casually walks toward a street at the edge of campus, where police say he ducked into a wooded area, from where investigators have found a high-powered rifle.
The suspect then apparently fled into a residential neighborhood.
But 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.
Authorities are now asking the public to be on the lookout for the suspect, noting he had a distinctive t-shirt and a baseball cap with a triangle on it.
‘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.

Gavin Newsom blasted for fiery rant weeks
Gavin Newsom faces accusations of hypocrisy following Charlie Kirk’s death just weeks after a rant saying that Democrats should ‘fight’ Republicans and ‘punch these sons of b****es in the mouth.’
The California Democrat said he was outraged by the killing of Kirk after he was murdered by a sniper at a college appearance in Utah Wednesday.
‘The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form,’ he wrote on social media.
‘I knew Charlie, and I admired his passion and commitment to debate. His senseless murder is a reminder of how important it is for all of us, across the political spectrum, to foster genuine discourse on issues that deeply affect us all without resorting to political violence,’ he added on his personal account.
However, just weeks earlier, Newsom spoke in a much different tone regarding the GOP in an interview with liberal influencers.
