Federal law enforcement sources told CBS News they believe they’ve identified the person of interest in Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Officials have not released the name, but it’s considered the biggest development so far. Insiders say it could lead to “new leads, potential arrests, and increased pressure” on those involved.
Kirk, a conservative commentator and activist, was shot during a Utah college event earlier this week, a tragedy that has shaken political circles and sparked calls for swift justice.
Investigators have been working nonstop, gathering witness statements, digital evidence, and surveillance footage.
Authorities remain quiet about the suspect’s background, motives, or connections but confirmed the probe is moving at “an accelerated pace.”
The nation now waits to see if this step will lead to an arrest and reveal who was behind the act that ended Kirk’s life.
This is a developing story.
