The FBI has released photos of a man they want to speak about the death of a police officer killed in last week’s Capitol riots.

Capitol officer Brian Sicknick, 42, tragically lost his life on Thursday after reportedly being hit over the head with a fire extinguisher during a struggle at the Capitol riots last week.

Almost a week after his death, investigators have released a screengrab from a video that shows a rioter throwing a fire extinguisher that hits a Capitol police officer on the head.

The second photo released by the bureau shows an older, bearded man wearing a blue, knitted hat with the letter ‘CFD’ stitched on to it, and they have urged anyone who recognizes him to get in touch as soon as possible.

epa08928775 An undated handout photo made available by the United States Capitol Police (USCP) in Washington, DC, USA shows USCP officer Brian D. Sicknick posing for a photograph (issued 09 January 2021). In the evening of 07 January 2021, USCP officer Sicknick, 42, passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty during the pro-Trump siege of the US Capitol. He was responding to the riots on 06 January 2021 at the Capitol and was 'injured while physically engaging with protesters', the USPC said in a statement. His death will be investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch, the USCP, and the FBI.

The manhunt comes after footage emerged of the moment a rioter appears to throw a fire extinguisher at a crowd of police officers. It is unclear if Sicknick was hit in the video.

In the disturbing video, a Pro-Trump supporter can be seen picking up a fire extinguisher from the floor and launching it at a crowd of Capitol police officers. The incident took place outside the building as hoards of rioters clashed with police.

At this stage it’s unclear if the two people identified in the photos released by the FBI are the same person.

Sicknick died as a result of injuries he sustained during the riots – including a blow to the head by a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement sources, reports AP.

His family released a heartbroken statement on Monday in tribute to a ‘lovely, humble soul’ who had always wanted to be a police officer and was ‘very passionate’ about his job.  

‘There really aren’t enough kind words in any language to describe how sweet Brian was. He was truly a lovely, humble soul. We are missing him terribly’, the statement said.

Prosecutors in the US Attorney’s office plan to open a federal murder investigation into Sicknick’s death, according to CNN.
