Claim That a Witness Was Told to Delete Video

What This Image Shows

A screenshot of a post from an account shown as Sam Parker, handle @BasedSamParker, posted an hour before capture. The vertical video frame at 1:02 shows Charlie Kirk in profile on stage speaking to an outdoor crowd, several people in red caps, with a security officer wearing an earpiece visible from behind in the foreground.

The post reads: "BREAKING, FBI DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE: Ryne Simmons says the FBI tried to get him to DELETE his Charlie Kirk assassination video. Is this why we've gotten so little footage from witnesses?! How many witnesses followed these FBI instructions? Outrageous. Cover-up confirmed?"

This lands on one of the case's central puzzles: hundreds of phones were recording, yet very little witness footage reached the public. This archive documents witness accounts of footage vanishing from devices, and a claim that agents asked a witness to delete video is a different mechanism pointing at the same gap. The account is single-source and relayed second-hand, and "cover-up confirmed?" is posed as a question by the poster rather than established. See Witnesses, FBI and Cover Up.
