Yesterday I made this post Anyone else going down the rabbit hole on the Charlie Kirk Assassination?. It got a lot of comments.
I know of 2 versions that contain clips of the original video in question:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4lkw9baMfs,
https://rumble.com/v6z0h9y-this-is-how-they-shot-charlie-kirk.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_m
I believe the important part of the target video shows up in both the youtube and rumble version around 9:20.
They have both lost some video quality, just from being transferred, I assume. I'd like to see the original, or at least a version with significantly better video quality.
From the watermark on the video, they're from an instagram or tiktok account called @IAmRickyDiaz. I don't see it on Instagram, and the tiktok account appears to be closed, or maybe I'm just searching for the wrong thing. In some places his account is called RICKY DIAZ (CAPULET).
Any other videos OF THIS ANGLE that show the same guy (the guy who potentially is somehow involved) would be appreciated and zapped!
I just looked up some info on AI on how to search for videos of this type of event. If anyone wants to take it up, here's some tips:
I found what appears to be the original @iamrickydiaz post:
https://www.instagram.com/p/DObz-vOk9LH/
Instagram currently audience-gates it, but search indexing identifies the post under @iamrickydiaz with the caption beginning “Charlie Kirk has died from his bullet injury. This is horrifying...”
There is unusually strong independent confirmation for this source. Australia's Classification Review Board reviewed the 19-second upload and describes the same right-side audience angle, the @IAMRICKYDIAZ watermark, and Lauren Daigle's “Rescue” audio:

I also found a much cleaner publicly playable copy of this angle/person, cut before the graphic moment:

X's highest rendition is 1072×1270, 10.101 seconds, 10,368 kbps:

Identification note: the man in the white shirt/hat is Frank Turek, one of Kirk's friends—not evidence of involvement. The public X copy now carries a community note citing this correction:
