This is the guy some people are saying is the shooter. Apparently a month ago he uploaded a song to soundcloud titled Charlie Kirk dead at 31 then later deleted it. Does anyone know more about this guy Skye Valadez? Charlie would have been 32 next month. pic.twitter.com/IyiqSYcfmH

Social Media Reactions and Speculations
The FBI’s release of surveillance images of a person of interest in the Charlie Kirk assassination has intensified online speculation. Some users have claimed that the individual in the photos resembles Skye Valadez, linking the song’s title to the tragic event. These claims have been widely circulated on social media, particularly on Reddit and 4chan. However, it’s important to note that the FBI has not confirmed any connection between Valadez and the case, and these allegations remain speculative.
It would be so tragic if Skye Valadez is just an innocent trans person who didn't do it and was just posting songs called "Charlie Kirk Dead At 31" for sweet little innocent inciting violence reasons. Golly I would hate for them to be dragged publicly like this for that.
