FBI offers $100K reward; profiler reveals Kirk assassin’s likely behavior

The assassin behind Charlie Kirk‘s murder is still on the lam and is likely an individual who lacks social skills, isolates himself and has only a loose plan for next steps, retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and profiler James Clemente told Fox News Digital. 

“In this case, it’s likely that there has been, for some time, a building frustration, and anger and rage and an inability to feel that is addressed. And so they wanted to make a big — a very big — public statement. [The suspect] probably has a very poor self-image and wanted to do something big to feel better about themselves. 

“And they probably, again, don’t have the skills to address these issues in a calm, rational, interpersonal way. And that’s why they lashed out in this very violent and extreme manner,” Clemente, also the co-host and creator of the show “Real Crime Profile,” told Fox News Digital in a phone interview Thursday. 

LIVE UPDATES: MANHUNT FOR CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTER CONTINUES

Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot by an unidentified individual Wednesday afternoon while attending an event at Utah Valley University as part of his American Comeback Tour. Kirk was a massive voice for the conservative movement, championing faith, family and freedom-focused values for youths, most notably on college campuses through TPUSA.

The shocking assassination has not yet yielded a suspect, and the FBI and local law enforcement agencies are poring through evidence to identify and apprehend the individual.

Clemente spoke to Fox Digital specifically about a shooter’s pre- and post-offense behavior, noting that the suspect likely dropped hints or divulged details of the planned assassination to friends or family or via social media posts ahead of the violence. 

“This is not likely a repeat offense for this person. It’s probably the first time that they ever acted out in this way, and, therefore, they probably leaked out information beforehand,” he said, adding the suspect may have dropped information to others while at work to colleagues or while drinking at a bar.
