After a 33-hour manhunt, Utah native Tyler Robinson was identified as the suspected killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. However, questions are emerging about whether he acted alone, following a new video purportedly from the Utah Valley University shooting showing a person fleeing the scene with what appears to be a gun.

The video was recently retweeted by Candice Owens, who is very famous for conspiracy theories, the most prominent one being where she stated, “the moon landing in 1969 was completely faked.” The 43-second clip, which seems to be taken from a roof, shows that a man in a brown t-shirt was carrying a small black object, which the commentator believes to be a gun.

She reposted the video while commenting, “Has this person been identified yet?”


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Has this person been identified yet? <a href="https://t.co/1EbbmJfvDS">https://t.co/1EbbmJfvDS</a></p>&mdash; Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) <a href="https://twitter.com/RealCandaceO/status/1967366101983285356?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

But users in the comment section of the original video were quick to give another angle to it, suggesting that it is Utah and carrying a gun is not that uncommon in the area.

One user commented, “It’s Utah homie.” People also suggested there might be undercover cops in the crowd.

Although this is not the only video that forces the netizens to think again about the situation, another video that got massively popular was of an unusual hand movement seconds before behind where Charlie got shot.

A X user, “The_Omini,” posted this, identifying him with a red cross,

Another less talked about video was the video where a man in a t-shirt (color not recognizable) with a backpack on his back is casually walking away from the shooting scene, like nothing happened.

The user also posted another tweet about the crime scene.

“CAUGHT ON VIDEO: CONTAMINATING THE CRIME SCENE
This man was filmed dismantling equipment just moments after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
He even removed the camera.
So where’s the footage, and why hasn’t it been released?”
