Authorities have released the mugshot of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Robinson was arrested following a highly publicized manhunt after the incident on September 10, which occurred during a live event attended by nearly 3,000 people. While Kirk was answering a question about mass shootings, a single shot rang out from a nearby rooftop. He collapsed, was hospitalized, and pronounced dead about 90 minutes later.
Investigators say they recovered footage showing someone leaping off a rooftop and fleeing the scene, and later found a rifle and ammunition in nearby woods. According to officials, Robinson was located after a tip from a family member who contacted law enforcement. Another relative said Robinson had recently become more politically active and had expressed dislike for Kirk in the past. The release of Robinson’s mugshot has intensified public reaction and debate over the nature of the attack and its political implications.
