The FBI is still on the search for the man who killed Kirk at a Utah college campus. During a press conference on Thursday, agents revealed they found a “footwear impression” along with a palm imprint and a forearm imprint.

The commissioner of Utah’s Department of Public Safety Beau Mason said the suspect “appears to be of college age.”
