OREM, Utah (ABC4) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering a reward for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the individual who shot and killed Charlie Kirk.
On September 10, 2025, Conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while hosting a debate on Utah Valley University campus. The shooter fled on foot and has remained at large.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released photo and video footage of the suspect and are asking the public for their help in identifying the suspect. As an incentive, anyone who provides information that identifies the suspect and leads to their arrest may be rewarded up to $100,000.
Previous FBI Rewards
Notably, this isn’t the first time that the FBI has offered a reward for information. Previously, they offered an award of up to $50,000 in addition to New York Police Department’s $10,000, in connection with the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Five days after the shooting, a McDonald’s employee spotted an individual, later identified as Luigi Mangione, who matched the suspect’s description and reported it to the FBI. Mangione was arrested for allegedly murdering Thompson and is set to appear in court later this year.
The tipster has reportedly not received the reward money, though that may be due to particular wording on the FBI’s part. The reward was offered for information leading to the “arrest and conviction”, and nobody has been convicted for the shooting yet.
Rewards are also available for those who help catch one of the FBI’s ten most wanted fugitives. For information leading directly to the arrest of one, tipsters can now make up to $250,000.

For information leading to the arrest of one fugitive, Ruja Ignatova, the FBI is offering an award of up to $5 million.
“The FBI recognizes the crucial role that public assistance has played in tracking fugitives throughout the years,” Assistant Director Luis Quesada of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division said, regarding the reward for fugitives. “Raising the rewards for the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives will ideally garner additional public tips resulting in the capture of these dangerous criminals.”
UVU Tipline
The reward offers certainly don’t replace official investigative work, but they can help provide leads for investigators to follow up on. Since its launch yesterday afternoon, the Charlie Kirk shooting tipline has reportedly received thousands of tips.
