New “Tent-Cam” Clip Sparks Online Claims After Charlie Kirk Shooting at UVU
Sept. 10, 2025 — Orem, Utah
A newly surfaced video clip taken inside a tent at Utah Valley University is fueling online speculation following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a Turning Point USA event.
Kirk, 31, was killed by a single shot fired from a rooftop overlooking the UVU courtyard during a Q&A appearance, according to CBS News. Law enforcement described it as a targeted attack and released footage showing a suspect fleeing the scene.
Now, a “tent-cam” video posted online appears to show a man in a grey shirt adjusting or handling camera equipment seconds after the shot. Some social media users claim this may be evidence tampering.
Status: Unverified
There is no confirmation from law enforcement or reputable news sources that the tent equipment was mishandled. The identity and role of the individual—possibly an AV staffer, security, or witness—have not been verified. Investigators have focused their releases on rooftop footage, not activity inside the tent. (KSL, CBS News)
Why This Matters
If innocent, such claims may unfairly target a bystander. If credible, they could affect the chain of custody for video evidence. Officials have not commented on the tent footage, which does not appear in official briefings.
Public Advice
Investigators urge the public to avoid spreading altered clips or identifying individuals without confirmation. Original files and tips should be submitted directly to Utah DPS or FBI portals.
Bottom Line:
The “grey shirt tampering” claim remains unconfirmed. Treat the clip as unverified user content until further validated by authorities.
