These photos don’t show much of his face. He seems to be almost intentionally avoiding the cameras by keeping his head down. But at least you can make out what’s on his t-shirt:

Not what I would expect:

This seems like something that might unironically be worn by a fan of Charlie Kirk, not someone who wanted to kill him. Is this camouflage, i.e. a way to blend into the crowd? Is it the wrong guy once again?
Also where is the rifle? We know he must have carried the bolt action rifle up to the roof and that he carried it down from the roof afterwards and left it in the woods nearby. But he’s obviously not carrying it in this image.
Meanwhile, the NY Times reports the shooting increasingly has member of congress concerned for their own safety.
The killing of Mr. Kirk has intensified already pervasive fears among lawmakers on Capitol Hill about personal safety, even as it has fed the cycle of finger-pointing and partisan warfare in the toxic political discourse often gripping Congress and the country…
After the fatal shooting of Mr. Kirk, many immediately scrapped upcoming outdoor events and said an already untenable security situation had grown even worse.
“People are scared to death in this building,” said Representative Jared Moskowitz, the Florida Democrat who was the target of an assassination plot last year. “Not many of them will say it publicly, but they’re running to the speaker talking about security — and that’s a lot of Republicans. People are scared, really scared.”…
Members of both parties appeared visibly shaken as Mr. Trump’s announcement on Truth Social that Mr. Kirk had died flashed across their phone screens.
Representative Steve Scalise, the Louisiana Republican who was shot by a gunman in 2017, sat alone and in silence for several minutes processing the news.
“It was hard to focus,” he told CBS News on Thursday morning.
