Initially, an older man wearing a blue shirt was detained near the scene, but authorities later clarified that he was not involved in the shooting.

The investigation is ongoing, and no new suspects have been identified.

The assassination occurred during Kirk’s “American Comeback Tour” event on Wednesday, when a single gunshot struck him in the neck. After being shot, he was rushed to a nearby hospital but later died from his injuries.

A number of law enforcement agencies are still investigating the incident, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
