## 'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say

Authored by nbcnews.com

One person familiar with the federal investigation said that “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups.”.

Additionally, Kirk himself is not a federal officer or elected official.

A Justice Department spokesperson said, “The investigation is ongoing and beyond that we decline to comment.”.

He is being charged with aggravated murder and obstruction of justice, among others, and Utah prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case.

There’s no federal law that makes acts of domestic terrorism a stand-alone crime, although prosecutors can seek a sentencing enhancement after conviction.

“As is always the case, the FBI needs a federal hook to initiate an investigation,” Brzozowski said.

The study was removed from the Justice Department website in the past few days, according to 404 Media. »
