Witnesses & Local Coordination
The posture toward witnesses and local coordination is central to the FBI inquiry. There are reported claims that local officers were told not to interview witnesses, that eyewitnesses were asked to delete video, and that construction workers describing an all-black suspect were not folded into the public FBI photo set. These claims must be vetted with specificity before they can be treated as anything more than allegations.
What the Claims Allege
Public commentary has reported that local law enforcement was directed to limit engagement with witnesses in the period surrounding the incident. A widely circulated Project Constitution video alleges the directive was explicit: "As per SBI and FBI, we've been given clear direction NOT to interview." As reported, these are allegations — not established facts — and the people who would have issued or received any such directive have not been confirmed.
Separately, witness Ryne Simmons reportedly says he submitted a close-up 4K/60fps clip — "a critical video" — to help investigators, and that the FBI then called him "a few times" at the federal level to make sure he had deleted it. He says he saved the footage anyway. Source: @ninoboxer on X. Beyond any single witness, the record collects claims from multiple attendees that phone footage was "edited or deleted before they even got home." See FBI Asked Delete Video for the full attributed accounts. Skyler Baird and other eyewitnesses appear in the record with similar delete-or-suppress themes.
What Vetting Requires
To evaluate any claim of a directive discouraging witness engagement, identify:
- The specific department or departments involved.
- The date and time of any alleged directive.
- The officials who issued and received it.
- Any contemporaneous documentation memorializing it.
Corroboration Protocols
Robust witness-corroboration protocols should be referenced wherever available: affidavits, audio logs, computer-aided-dispatch (CAD) timelines, and body-worn camera registries. The FBI's role in coordinating multi-jurisdictional interviews and evidence handling should be documented with the same granularity. Discouraging witnesses from speaking would run contrary to best practices for preserving witness memory and evidence integrity — which is precisely why any such directive, if it existed, needs a documented predicate.
Laws (Charlie Kirk)
- FBI Form 302 reports of the witness interviews and records of agents who told witnesses to delete videos and the CAD dispatch timelines and body-cam registries of responding local officers are things that the Charlie Kirk Investigation Laws may result in powerful truths coming out that aren't out yet.
Citizen Investigator Claims on X (Attributed)
- Video deletion: Ryne Simmons account—federal calls urging deletion of 4K/60fps footage he claims to retain—continues to recirculate (FBI Asked Delete Video). @ProjectConstitu-class videos expand this to multiple attendees and the Skyler Baird media-witness dispute. Staged-witness allegations about living private figures are not adopted as findings here.
- Non-interview directive: Claims that SBI/FBI told locals not to interview remain unverified without Form 302s and written orders.
- Media chain of custody: @GreatUnwokening (July 2026) alleged Terryl Farnsworth and Andrew Kolvet removed camera cards before police secured them. Attributed allegation requiring contemporaneous video.
Corroboration means: named agent, date, channel, and preserved original media hashes.

Local Police Reportedly Told Not to Interview Witnesses (Claims)
The allegation is that local police were directed not to interview witnesses and were separately tied up elsewhere, so the on-scene record was thinned at the source. Radio traffic and eyewitness accounts are what it rests on.
