Thomas Matthew Crooks, suspected of attempting to assassinate former President Trump, appeared in a 2022 ad for asset manager BlackRock, the company confirmed to The Hill on Monday.

The ad, filmed at Bethel Park High School in Pennsylvania, featured Crooks and other unpaid students briefly alongside a real teacher. BlackRock has since removed the video and provided the footage to authorities.

The ad was part of the “About BlackRock” campaign, focusing on retirement plans for U.S. public school teachers.

Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022, and former classmates described him as a loner who was bullied relentlessly.

On Saturday, Crooks opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pa., injuring the former president and killing one spectator, The Hill has reported.

Two others were critically injured, according to the Secret Service. Crooks was fatally shot by the Secret Service on a nearby roof.

Investigators found bomb-making materials in his vehicle and home and are still determining a motive.
