Social media sleuths have identified the suspected Charlie Kirk assassin as Skye Valadez, an Ogden, Utah transgender guy who uses she/her pronouns. 

‘Skye’ published a music project under the name God’s Finest Scalpel in April titled ‘Death to American Scum’ featuring a track called ‘Charlie Kirk’s death isn’t enough for me.’

A social media user said, 'Clearly a MAGA NRA Christian Nazi Trump loving extremist.'

On Thursday afternoon, many people tweeted photos of Valadez that were identical to the FBI's photographs of the shooter.

The FBI has not named or confirmed any suspects.

The song, ‘Charlie Kirk Dead at 31,’ was released on SoundCloud and archived online as early as March 2025, months before Kirk’s killing. The song could not be found on Soundcloud.

Noted a post on Facebook, ‘Valadez, who operates under the music project name “God”s Finest Scalpel,” previously uploaded a song to Soundcloud called “Charlie Kirk Dead at 31,” which has since been removed from the platform. The provocative nature of his work has sparked outrage among various political and social circles, particularly given Kirk”s prominence as a conservative commentator and activist.’

Skye Valadez social media accounts removed hours ago

Valadez’s work has been described as confrontational and politically satirical. Critics argue her lyrics glorify violence against conservative figures, while supporters interpret them as exaggerated protest art common in radical underground music scenes. Following Kirk’s death, some social media accounts connected to her circle reportedly celebrated the event, amplifying public scrutiny.

Of note, as The Gateway Pundit was screenshotting and archiving his Facebook account, it was pulled down by either Valadez himself or Meta.

The outlet attempted to reach out to Valadez, but the social media account was removed too quickly.

FBI has indicated it will be making a momentary announcement.
