The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Thursday offered a cash reward of $100,000 to whoever provides information leading to the arrest of the killer of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist shot dead at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

The FBI announced the reward in a statement circulated on social media.

“The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the individual(s) responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah,” the statement reads.

Earlier on Thursday, the FBI released photos of the suspected shooter of Mr Kirk, who is still at large.

This comes less than 24 hours after Mr Kirk was fatally shot in his neck while he was speaking at the university on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, during the 9/11 remembrance ceremony at the Pentagon on Thursday, announced he will be awarding Mr Kirk a posthumous presidential medal.
