A viral claim circulating on X (formerly Twitter) suggests that a selfie of a light-haired person in a dark skirt, taken with a pink cellphone, shows the individual behind the @NajraGalvz account — the same account that allegedly predicted “something big” would happen before Charlie Kirk was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
That claim is false.
Where the Claim Started
On September 10, 2025, a post on X alleged that “Omar @NajraGalvz” was the 17-year-old shooter, pointing to a message the account had published a day earlier: “something big will happen tomorrow.” Conspiracy-leaning accounts quickly tied that post to an unrelated selfie and spread it as supposed “evidence.”
What Actually Happened
-
The selfie in question — light hair, dark skirt, pink phone — was not posted by @NajraGalvz.
-
The photo was first published on July 15, 2025 by a different account whose owner uses she/her pronouns. That account has not mentioned Charlie Kirk.
-
While @NajraGalvz had reposted from that account before, the reposts did not include this selfie.
The Account’s Current Status
Shortly after the shooting, the handle changed, and the new user claimed they had taken the name after the original owner dropped it to prevent impersonation. The updated bio explicitly stated: “My condolences to friends/family of Charlie Kirk.”
What Law Enforcement Released
On September 11, 2025, the FBI released official images of a “person of interest” in the case. These photos showed a person with short hair, not the long-haired individual in the viral selfie.
Conclusion
The viral selfie was misattributed. There is no evidence that it depicts the owner of the @NajraGalvz account, nor is there proof that the account was directly involved in the Charlie Kirk shooting. The spread of this false connection highlights how quickly misinformation can amplify confusion during fast-moving news events.
