BlackScoutSurvival: Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect Still at Large While Military Members Celebrate
BlackScoutSurvival breaks down the Charlie Kirk assassination in a late-night live broadcast, working through FBI surveillance photos, TMZ security footage near Utah Valley University, and a tactical profile of the still-unidentified suspect. The shooter, carrying an estimated 42 to 45-inch rifle with a magnified optic, fired a single shot during a distraction moment before slipping out through a rooftop escape route into a residential neighborhood. Despite being caught on multiple cameras and leaving behind a discarded rifle in the woods, no arrest has been made and the FBI has posted a $100,000 reward. Beyond the tactical analysis, what emerges is a broader pattern. Civilians and active duty military, including Marine Captain Jacobe Williamson, who has since been relieved of duty, were caught publicly celebrating Kirk's death.
FBI Releases Surveillance Photos as Suspect Remains at Large
The FBI has released surveillance photos of the person of interest in Charlie Kirk's assassination. The suspect is wearing a shirt with an American eagle design and carrying a backpack. Some have speculated he was wearing a latex mask, but based on the available footage, that reading seems unlikely — there is no visible break or seam in the facial area. The bureau has posted a $100,000 reward. CBS News reported earlier that the FBI had identified a suspect, but the bureau quickly denied that claim. As of this broadcast, no one is in custody and the shooter is still free.
TMZ Footage Reveals the Suspect's Movement Near Utah Valley University
TMZ obtained security camera footage showing the suspect walking through a residential neighborhood toward Utah Valley University before the shooting, then fleeing the same way afterward — looping around the back of the neighborhood. One detail stands out immediately: the suspect has a pronounced limp.
There are several possible explanations. He may have injured himself during the escape, perhaps from jumping off the roof. He could have a pre-existing condition. Or — as trained observers will recognize — he was deliberately altering his gait as a counter-surveillance technique. Suspects sometimes fake a limp to confuse witnesses and tracking software. Based on the footage, the assessment here is that the limp was most likely a concealment method, not an injury.
Tactical Analysis: How the Rifle Was Concealed
The rifle appears to be 42 to 45 inches long, with a barrel of approximately 22 to 24 inches, a fixed non-collapsible stock, and a magnified optic. Concealing a weapon that size takes deliberate effort, especially in pants that are not particularly baggy.
The most plausible method: the suspect tucked the rifle from the armpit down along his body, with the barrel ending near the knee. The optic would have sat near the torso. This position keeps the weapon from swinging visibly or printing through the fabric. To an untrained eye, the resulting gait looks like a leg injury. To someone who knows what to look for, it reads as concealment discipline.
Another possibility is that the rifle was pre-positioned on or near the rooftop before the suspect arrived. The footage is consistent with either scenario, but the walking footage suggests the weapon was carried in on the approach.
The Shot: What Was Planned and What Fell Apart
The shooter chose the rooftop rather than a position inside the building. A more experienced operator would have found an interior hide — enclosed positions eliminate silhouetting and reduce visibility. The most likely reason for using the roof is access: getting inside undetected may not have been possible, and interior office windows may have been occupied. The roof offered a clean line of sight with low foot traffic below.
The shot was timed to a distraction moment, drawing attention elsewhere during the firing. The exit route went from the rooftop back into the neighborhood, reducing contact points. That portion of the plan was well thought out.
Where it came apart: the rifle was dumped in the woods. That is a significant lapse. A discarded weapon creates a full evidence trail — DNA, fingerprints, fiber transfer, ballistic matching, and a purchase record. It points to panic on the way out. The suspect was also caught on neighborhood cameras on the approach. Investigators will now leapfrog through Ring cameras and CCTV systems to trace the full route back to wherever he transitioned from a vehicle.
Civilians and Active Duty Military Caught Celebrating
Footage from the crowd at the scene showed a man identified as Ta Matt Taber pumping his fist and cheering in the moments after the shooting, while others around him were ducking and running. Taber has since deleted his social media accounts after being publicly identified.
Of far greater concern is what emerged from within the military. Marine Captain Jacobe Williamson, a recruiter based in Chicago, posted to his official recruiting page celebrating Kirk's death with the words "another racist man popped." Williamson has since been relieved of duty and faces potential charges under UCMJ Articles 92, 88, and 134.
A Navy petty officer also recorded a celebratory video from what appears to be his bathroom. In it, he defends cheering the death, calls Kirk dangerous, and accuses him of spreading harmful rhetoric to racist audiences. That individual had not yet been identified or charged at the time of this broadcast.
Active duty military personnel celebrating the assassination of an American civilian is not simply a disciplinary failure. It signals how deeply political ideology has pushed into the armed forces — men sworn to defend Americans, openly cheering when one of them is killed for what he said.
Foreign Governments Had Already Put a Target on Kirk
Months before the shooting, the Ukraine Center for Countering Disinformation formally flagged Charlie Kirk as spreading pro-Russian narratives. The designation accused him of criticizing President Zelenskyy and pushing back against US military aid. That is a foreign government placing a public digital target on an American civilian commentator.
Kirk had also, in the weeks leading up to his death, reportedly become more openly critical of pro-Israel donor circles that had long been connected to Turning Point USA. According to people who spoke with him, Kirk told those close to him that he was afraid. He knew he was stacking enemies — foreign and domestic — and he said so directly.
What This Was Really About
This was not a random act. The planned approach, the timing of the shot, and the designed exit route point to a deliberate operation. The mistakes — the dumped rifle, the camera exposure — suggest the person who carried it out was not a professional at the highest level, but the mission was completed. One shot. The target was hit. The shooter walked out.
The message here is not just about Charlie Kirk. When a prominent American voice is shot in broad daylight on a university campus, the shooter disappears, and people — including military personnel — openly celebrate, what is being communicated reaches far beyond one man. It is aimed at anyone else watching who might consider speaking out. The goal is to make people afraid to talk.

[00:01] Guys, welcome to Black Scout Survival
[00:03] late night live. So, we've been trying
[00:05] to keep you up to date on as information
[00:07] comes forward on Charlie Kirk and you
[00:10] know, obviously he was assassinated in
[00:12] broad daylight yesterday and the man who
[00:15] pulled the trigger is still out there.
[00:18] While the media is busy playing cover
[00:20] games, new evidence is dropping. Okay,
[00:22] we got surveillance photos, video
[00:24] footage. Something very alarming too is
[00:26] we have military men celebrating his
[00:29] death.
[00:30] And then uh we're also going to talk a
[00:32] little bit about the history of foreign
[00:33] and domestic enemies labeling Charlie
[00:35] Kirk as a target. Tonight we're going to
[00:38] break it all down. Tactical, political,
[00:40] cultural without the [ __ ] Okay, so
[00:43] let's get into it. FBI has released new
[00:48] surve surveillance photos. I'm going to
[00:49] pop up on the screen here. The person of
[00:52] interest.
[00:54] He has some type of American eagle on
[00:57] his shirt. He's walking down. I'm going
[01:00] to come back to these photos in a
[01:01] moment. He's got a backpack on.
[01:05] Some people said that he was wearing a
[01:06] latex mask. Very It could be possible. I
[01:08] don't think so. I don't see any kind of
[01:10] break here. This doesn't look like a
[01:12] mask to me, but who knows? It's hard to
[01:15] tell by those photos. Uh, obviously the
[01:17] FBI has put out a thousand $100,000
[01:20] reward. Okay. Now, earlier today, CBS
[01:25] claimed that FBI had IDed the guy, that
[01:29] they had a a suspect. Uh they were going
[01:32] to go investigate. The bureau has denied
[01:34] that as of uh an hour or two ago. The
[01:37] translation is they don't have him and
[01:40] he was able to slip through the cracks.
[01:42] Now, there's been some TMZ obtained
[01:45] security camera footage showing the
[01:48] suspect walking through a neighborhood
[01:50] toward Utah Valley University before the
[01:52] shooting and then fleeing the same way
[01:55] after, kind of going around the back of
[01:57] the neighborhood. Now, I want you to
[01:59] look at and tell me what stands out
[02:00] here.
[02:03] Let me put it up full screen.
[02:09] He's got a limp right
[02:14] now.
[02:16] A few things went by in my mind about
[02:18] this.
[02:19] I thought initially when I first saw
[02:21] that he maybe this is afterwards and he
[02:23] heard himself jumping. Uh then I'm like,
[02:27] well, maybe he's he's a injured
[02:31] individual.
[02:32] Maybe there he is escaping. Okay.
[02:37] or
[02:40] he's trying to cover his gate. You know,
[02:41] tactical tradecraftraft, counter
[02:42] surveillance.
[02:44] Suspects a lot of times will alter gate
[02:46] to throw off witnesses and software, but
[02:48] this could most likely be functioning as
[02:51] concealment. The rifle was a short,
[02:55] you know, 42
[02:57] to 45 inch probably. And I'm guessing
[03:00] here
[03:02] 306. It's not a breakdown gun. So, and
[03:05] it's got an optic on it. Let's play this
[03:07] some more.
[03:11] And
[03:13] with a barrel about 22 to 24 in. Okay.
[03:16] Fix. No collapsible stock. Now, that's
[03:19] hard to hide unless you I'm guessing
[03:21] because a lot of people are saying it
[03:22] was down in his pants, but you see his
[03:24] knee is hinging. Okay.
[03:30] He's he's walking ridiculous, but his
[03:33] knee is still hinging. with a optic,
[03:37] a magnified scope, and the rifle. I
[03:39] don't think it was down the full length
[03:40] of his pants. Okay, let me back up and
[03:43] kind of show you what I what I think he
[03:46] did. Okay,
[03:50] what I think he did was is I think and
[03:53] I'm walk away from the microphone. I
[03:55] think he tucked it from the armpit,
[03:59] right? So you're looking at 42 to 40
[04:01] inches down to maybe the knee, right?
[04:04] Maybe tucked in under there. That way
[04:06] the optic was probably the optic was
[04:10] probably here and the barrel was right
[04:12] at the knee. So that way he still has a
[04:15] better movement than if he had it like
[04:19] down in his pants because you, as you
[04:22] see, the pants are
[04:25] not, you know, extremely baggy.
[04:31] They're not extremely baggy. And we'll
[04:34] we'll post up. So that's what I think. I
[04:37] think the barrel's right there ending at
[04:38] his knee.
[04:43] You you know this keep it so from uh
[04:46] printing I guess the best way possible
[04:50] and from swinging to the untrained eye.
[04:52] probably looks like just an injury uh or
[04:55] you know some something's wrong with his
[04:57] his leg or something. But
[05:01] to a trained eye, somebody pick that up
[05:03] as concealment discipline. Right now
[05:18] caught in the back back there. Okay. So,
[05:21] again, if we look at his pants, they're
[05:23] not extremely baggy.
[05:30] I I had initially thought he had
[05:34] hid the rifle
[05:36] previous,
[05:37] right? Cuz those are pretty tight hands.
[05:41] Um maybe he pre-positioned the rifle.
[05:44] What I thought he had to had
[05:47] planned this prior to Okay, now he he's
[05:51] he's not some Hollywood elite Jason
[05:54] Bourne, but I don't think he was just
[05:56] some random deer hunter either. Right
[05:59] now, obviously, if he's taking this
[06:01] shot, it would probably be better. Like,
[06:03] if I was really going to uh snipe
[06:05] someone, I'm going to get enclosed like
[06:07] inside the building. That way, there's
[06:09] no silhouetting and stuff like that. So,
[06:12] a real,
[06:14] you know, tier one sniper, he's getting
[06:16] inside of a hide, okay? Being on top of
[06:19] a roof and all black. But the thing is
[06:21] is that, and a lot of people are saying
[06:22] this, but the problem is is he may not
[06:24] have had access inside or not access
[06:27] without being seen. So, that's probably
[06:30] why he chose the roof. Okay?
[06:34] and he he needed a clean sign of uh
[06:36] clean line of sight, right? With low
[06:40] foot traffic. You're inside of a
[06:42] building, it could be high foot traffic.
[06:43] Maybe all those bit uh
[06:46] office windows or what have you were
[06:48] occupied. This is a school, right?
[06:51] He fired during a distraction moment,
[06:54] masking attention. Okay.
[06:57] He obviously was able to conceal this
[06:58] rifle, get it up there. Unless he
[07:00] pre-positioned, we don't know
[07:02] necessarily. Obviously, by this footage,
[07:04] it could be very well that he carried
[07:06] the rifle with him. Okay. The biggest
[07:08] thing he's he exfilled
[07:11] through roof to neighborhood, minimizing
[07:13] contact points. So, this was again
[07:16] highly planned out. Okay. Now, he did
[07:18] make some panic level mistakes. He
[07:20] ditched the rifle in the woods. Okay.
[07:23] So, it gave away the evidence. You know,
[07:27] that's sloppy. We We're talking DNA.
[07:29] We're talking prints, fibers, ballistic
[07:32] match, all the evidence trails, who
[07:33] bought the rifle and so on that was
[07:36] sloppy and maybe he was panicking to try
[07:38] to, you know, break as much contact as
[07:41] possible. Okay, tons of evidence trails.
[07:45] Now, the visible lint, whether real or
[07:47] stage, it draws the eye. Bad for
[07:50] blending. It's obviously drawn within
[07:52] the the video footage we saw.
[07:55] He had to exfill in broad daylight
[07:58] through crowds after taking a shot.
[08:01] Bold, yes, but risky as hell. He got
[08:05] away,
[08:07] right? But it left footage and timeline
[08:10] to track. Now, the thing is what they
[08:12] will do is is
[08:14] they'll start mapping out that footage.
[08:16] You'll start getting Ring cameras,
[08:19] CCTVs, and and and essentially leaprog
[08:22] back to wherever he transitioned to,
[08:24] then pick him up somewhere else, unless
[08:26] he really got into a secluded place, was
[08:28] able to uh change his uh look quickly.
[08:33] But then again, you're you still got the
[08:34] backpack. You you needed to dump the
[08:36] gear, get rid of it, whatever you have,
[08:38] you're leaving DNA, right? So
[08:42] I think this was uh an h h h h h h h h h
[08:44] h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
[08:44] h h h h h h h h h h h h operation.
[08:45] Competent planning on ingress the shot.
[08:50] He he had confident planning on egress
[08:52] as well. However, he made some amateur
[08:55] mistakes. He was obviously picked up on
[08:57] the the the
[08:59] ingress on neighborhood camera footage.
[09:02] Okay. Mistakes. They'll leap frog back
[09:05] to where he maybe took a vehicle and
[09:07] then walked in.
[09:09] Okay. Now, if you didn't watch my other
[09:12] two videos, the past last two, I
[09:14] definitely recommend watching those. We
[09:15] cover some things that you may not know
[09:17] about or may be questioning, and I'm not
[09:19] going to re hash them out here, but
[09:22] footage from the crowd showed some
[09:24] strange behavior, which I discussed
[09:25] earlier. There was a bearded man here
[09:29] celebrating.
[09:32] And in the video, I'm not going to show
[09:33] the video because he does this as soon
[09:35] you you can't really get the shot the
[09:37] way they cropped it uh without catching
[09:40] Charlie um on impact. And I and I don't
[09:42] again want to show that. Right. He was
[09:45] celebrating. He was pumping his fist and
[09:47] cheering. Okay. Now, if you again, like
[09:50] I explained earlier today,
[09:53] know someone just got shot, you heard
[09:58] the rounds, you seen the impact, right?
[10:01] you would be trying to get out of there,
[10:04] right? Others are filming behind him in
[10:06] that exact moment. Then then they
[10:08] instead of uh he they duck down, stop
[10:11] filming and and start fleeing. He
[10:13] instead
[10:15] starts pumping his fist and cheering. In
[10:19] real life, gunfire triggers panic. What
[10:21] we saw is different. At minimum, it
[10:23] shows there were people there who really
[10:25] hated Kirk enough to cheer in real time.
[10:28] Me personally, like I said earlier, my
[10:31] my theory is I think maybe there was
[10:33] some chatter online, maybe one of these
[10:35] secret groups, maybe uh, you know,
[10:38] roadblocks or whatever, you know, I
[10:40] mean, who whatever they talk on. I don't
[10:41] know what these people talk on, but some
[10:44] kind of secret group where they one had
[10:47] distractions. We had civilians out there
[10:51] uh claiming to be the shooter. getting
[10:54] eating up time with officers, giving
[10:56] this shooter more time to flee. Okay,
[11:00] now what's worse, let me show this guy
[11:04] here. This is his account. Ta Matt Taber
[11:07] has been identified. Apparently, he's
[11:09] deleted his account since he's been
[11:11] exposed as cheering uh horrible human
[11:14] being. But if that's not worse, man,
[11:16] random civilians celebrating. We also
[11:17] have
[11:20] active duty military marine officer Let
[11:23] me put him up here.
[11:25] Captain Jacobe Williamson. He since
[11:27] deleted his too. He's a recruiter out of
[11:30] Chicago, Marine Officer Recruiter. Okay.
[11:32] And this was from his recruiting page.
[11:36] Okay. He posted another racist man
[11:40] popped.
[11:42] You see that? Cat Williamson USMC
[11:46] after Kirk's death. Now, he's been
[11:49] relieved of duty, as he should. Marines
[11:52] should never act like that.
[11:55] He's looking at facing charges from
[11:57] UCMJ, articles 92, 88, and 134. You can
[12:00] look those up if you want to. We also
[12:02] have a Navy petty officer. Now, he he I
[12:07] mean, he's Navy. It's like got a little
[12:08] sugar in his loafers, but he made a
[12:11] celebratory video online and it looks to
[12:13] be his bathtub. Watch
[12:15] >> death of Charlie Kirk. You're a bad
[12:16] person. You're going hell man. [ __ ]
[12:19] Charlie Kirk. The off-ramp to the high
[12:21] road is closed. We are not going to be
[12:24] made to feel bad about y'all. [ __ ]
[12:26] hero that consistently spewed harmful
[12:29] rhetoric that consistently put people's
[12:31] lives in danger with the [ __ ]
[12:32] platform that he was given by all of you
[12:35] racist goofies.
[12:38] This has nothing to do with conservative
[12:39] versus liberal. This has nothing to do
[12:41] with Democrat versus Republican. This is
[12:43] nothing to do with the left versus the
[12:44] right because that's what y'all going to
[12:45] prop it up as. And the alleged suspect
[12:49] is a old white guy. But bet the
[12:51] mainstream media won't be talking about
[12:53] white-on-white violence.
[12:55] They won't be talking about gun control.
[12:57] They going to say this was an isolated
[12:59] incident by a lone shooter. And they
[13:02] going to hold off the identity for as
[13:04] long as they can and it's going to end
[13:05] up being a white guy.
[13:09] But we're not talking about these
[13:11] dangerous white men. You're celebrating
[13:12] a death.
[13:18] >> Need to find out who that guy is. And
[13:19] and he needs to face some charges as
[13:22] well, you know. Terrible. Terrible. This
[13:25] our military, man.
[13:28] It should never be, you know, spoke upon
[13:32] uh you know, regardless of of politics
[13:34] or what have you. Someone murdered in
[13:37] front of their wife and children. Uh
[13:39] terrible, right? But this is how deep
[13:40] the rock goes, man. men in uniform sworn
[13:42] to defend Americans cheering the
[13:45] assassination
[13:47] of an American civilian. That's not just
[13:48] a bad look. That's proof how far the
[13:52] ideology war has crept inside our own
[13:54] ranks. We discussed what the military
[13:56] would do in in going against civilians.
[14:00] I mean, look at these guys. Horrible.
[14:02] Horrible. Um, now,
[14:05] uh, the guy who asked the question
[14:07] before the shot, I I'm going to play a
[14:08] video. He he went on CNN. I want you to
[14:11] hear what he has to say. And notice he's
[14:13] smirking like he's he's saying, "Oh,
[14:15] nobody would want that." But he's kind
[14:16] of like laughing about it.
[14:18] >> He pointed to the irony that
[14:22] I was the point that I was trying to
[14:24] make is how peaceful the left was
[14:28] right before he got shot. And that
[14:31] >> how peaceful the left is. Where the is
[14:34] this guy been hiding at?
[14:36] >> That only makes sense if we stay
[14:38] peaceful. And as much as I disagree with
[14:40] Charlie Kirk, I'm I'm on the record for
[14:42] how much I disagree with Charlie Kirk.
[14:43] But like, man, dude, he is still a human
[14:48] being. Have we forgotten that?
[14:50] >> I mean, laughing. Maybe it's a nervous
[14:52] thing. I don't know.
[14:53] >> We like
[14:57] that. That is him posting on his own
[14:59] social media that they're playing back.
[15:02] I mean, why is he laughing, man? That's
[15:03] not something to be laughing about. I
[15:05] don't know. I mean, anyway,
[15:08] I do also want to talk about
[15:12] other governmental, okay? Cuz we heard
[15:15] that earlier today, foreign government,
[15:17] but the FBI quickly shut that down after
[15:19] they said it. They the ones who told us
[15:22] Charlie Kirk had been officially flagged
[15:25] by Ukraine Center for Countering
[15:27] Disinformation months ago. They accused
[15:28] him of spreading pro-Russian narratives,
[15:30] criticizing Zalinsky, and pushing back
[15:32] against US aid.
[15:34] That's a foreign government putting a
[15:36] digital target on his back. Okay. Now,
[15:39] the other thing is is that and and uh
[15:42] you know, I hadn't got any real
[15:43] information about this is what I heard.
[15:46] Honestly, it's what I initially
[15:48] suspected, but I wasn't going to just
[15:50] come out and say it yet. Man, there's
[15:52] been a recent shift states side with
[15:55] Charlie Kirk. He is long and I talked
[15:58] about other week I showed him at the
[15:59] wall with the hat on with our our our
[16:02] greatest ally at the wall doing the
[16:04] thing and I was and I was talking about
[16:05] Charlie Kirk at the wall right uh being
[16:08] critical of it. He's long had ties to
[16:11] pro-Israel donor circles. It's been said
[16:14] that Turning Point USA has received
[16:17] is pro-Israel
[16:20] donations. Okay. Um but in recent weeks
[16:23] he has become openly critical of them on
[16:25] several issues. Now, according to
[16:27] chatter, he told people close to him
[16:30] that he was afraid. He knew he was
[16:33] stacking enemies, foreign and domestic.
[16:36] Okay, so potential tie in there as well.
[16:39] You never know. Maybe this guy is a psy.
[16:42] We don't know. But this is where we
[16:45] currently stand. Okay, this guy carried
[16:49] a 42 to 44 inch rifle into the campus
[16:53] fired one shot daylight and slipped out.
[16:56] He made a kill shot. Okay, so a lot of
[16:58] people saying, "Oh, amateur. He's an
[17:00] amateur." This guy went in there,
[17:03] executed a mission, whether a foreign
[17:06] government developed it for him, he
[17:07] developed it, he executed a mission,
[17:09] accomplished mission, was able to xfill
[17:12] undetected. Well, video footage, but
[17:14] still yet, you're gonna get on video
[17:15] footage. is 2025. To to try to get away
[17:17] with complete clean is impossible,
[17:19] especially in an urban area.
[17:22] FBI has photos, footage, a rifle,
[17:24] 100,000 reward. No suspect.
[17:27] We have civilians cheering, military men
[17:31] celebrated, right? Foreign government
[17:33] pre-labeled him as an enemy. And I seen
[17:35] so much chatter last night on comments
[17:37] on my video. No one's cheering about it,
[17:39] dude. I've showed video after video of
[17:41] these sick bastards cheering. Okay?
[17:45] And we have Kirk admitting himself to
[17:47] people close to him that he was afraid
[17:50] weeks before. Again, that's we don't
[17:52] know for a fact, but that's what has
[17:54] been the chatter
[17:56] was not random. This was deliberate,
[17:58] planned, messy in spots, but still
[18:01] effective. They're not just hunting one
[18:03] man. They're showing all of you that if
[18:05] you speak too loudly, you can be hunted,
[18:08] too. And that is the moral of this
[18:09] story. That's what this whole thing is
[18:11] to strike fear into people to quit
[18:13] talking. Right? So stay frosty, stay
[18:16] strapped, stay dangerous. I'm Black
