About This Cluster​

Where the shot came from is the load-bearing question in the whole case. The official account places the shooter on the roof of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University, firing at roughly 12:23 p.m. on September 10, 2025, and every charge the state has brought rests on that single line of geometry. This cluster gathers the still images researchers have used to test that geometry: rooftop views and sight lines, trajectory overlays, the south side of the courtyard, vent and window openings in the building faces, the plaza itself, and the tent Charlie Kirk was sitting under. If the angle does not work, or if the named position was occupied at the wrong moment, the rest of the official narrative has to be rebuilt from scratch.

The readings offered inside these images compete with each other and none of them is settled. Independent analyst Justin Ruh, posting as @MrDiscordeous, published overlays placing the impact at roughly 120 to 157 degrees relative to the plaza, which he argues points south of the officially named perch, while a separate acoustic triangulation circulated by researchers is said to place the report within about two meters of the courtyard itself. Other frames are captioned as a person in black at the Losee roof access before the shooting, a figure in white on the Sorensen building, and louvred vent openings that some posters call a firing port; all are low-resolution and all are contested. A frame-timing analysis attributed to Blake Bednarz measures a 220-foot run over 15 seconds from a 12:23:34 timestamp and concludes the runner on the roof started moving several seconds before the shot, which the poster argues would make that person an implausible shooter — a calculation that depends on footage researchers say has been released only in trimmed form. Construction electrician Dylan Hope, quoted in national coverage reproduced here, described a man in a black trench coat, black mask and long dark hair approaching his crew moments after the shot, and said the photo officers showed the crew that day did not appear to match the image the FBI later released to the public.

Start with the trajectory overlays and rooftop diagrams on this page, then work through the sub-areas: Gun Port for the vent and louvre openings, Real Shooter for the identification collages circulating on social media, In Tent for hardware mounted to the canopy frame above the stage, Photos for the walk-through stills of the plaza, and Questionable for claims the investigation has flagged as weak. The written analysis behind these images lives in Real Killer, Proof Not Tyler and Cover Up; for the venue layout see UVU and for the canopy itself see Tent.
