Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said on Thursday that officials have received more than 7,000 digital tips and leads in connection with the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which he noted is the most since the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on the campus of Utah Valley University on Wednesday afternoon. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition before he was later pronounced dead. 

A massive manhunt is underway for the suspect, who has not been identified.

"We cannot do our job without the public's help right now. The public has answered our call for action. So far, we've received more than 7,000 leads and tips," Cox said at a news briefing, adding that he is hopeful that newly released photos and video will lead to additional tips.

The governor also said nearly 200 interviews have been conducted, as officials continue to search for the shooter.

State officials are moving to pursue the death penalty if the case goes to trial, Cox said.

The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the person responsible for murdering Kirk.

The agency also released new video Thursday night showing the shooter climbing down from the roof of a building on the campus of Utah Valley University before fleeing the scene.

Video was also shared by a homeowner in the area after the person of interest was seen in their neighborhood after the shooting took place.
