Disclaimer: Inclusion on this page does not imply that this individual had knowledge of, participated in, or committed any illegal or immoral act. This page documents their publicly known connection to the events of September 10, 2025 for investigative reference only.
Living Person Notice: Dylan Hope is documented here only as a reported witness. We describe what he is reported to have observed, with attribution. We do not assert wrongdoing by him or by anyone he describes.
Investigative Value
Dylan Hope is cited in the investigation file as a 26-year-old electrician working at a property next to the university on the day of the Charlie Kirk shooting. He matters as a potential neutral eyewitness: he and his crew were reportedly shown a suspect photo by officers, which connects to the Proof Not Tyler and Suspects discussions about whether the person initially sought matched the man later publicized.
Hope is described purely as a witness. Nothing accuses him of any wrongdoing.

What is reported
- According to the account summarized in the file, Hope's crew described a suspect wearing black sunglasses, a black mask, a black trench coat, black cargo pants, a small backpack, and long dark hair. (Attributed to the reported witness account.)
- The file states that Mr. Hope said the photo officers showed the crew on Wednesday did not appear to match the image the FBI released publicly on Thursday. (Reported statement.)
- Counterpoint: A witness recollection of a suspect's appearance is an observation, not a legal conclusion, and eyewitness descriptions can vary or be mistaken. The account describes what Hope reports seeing; it makes no accusation against Hope himself.
Open Questions
- What did the "Wednesday" photo shown to Hope's crew depict, and how did it differ from the public FBI image?
- Is Hope's description corroborated by other witnesses or camera footage?
- Has Hope's account been recorded in any official report?
