The investigation into Charlie Kirk’s shooting advanced after the FBI examined text messages between 22-year-old Tyler Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs. These communications guided agents to Robinson in St. George, Utah. Twiggs is cooperating fully and faces no charges. Evidence from their shared apartment, including computers, is undergoing forensic analysis.
Court filings show messages discussing retrieving a rifle, changing clothes, and other steps before the attack. Despite this, Robinson’s grandmother insists he is innocent, describing him as quiet and uninterested in weapons. Authorities recovered a distinctive rifle along with footwear and palm prints linking him to the scene.
Governor Spencer Cox said engravings on ammunition referenced memes and video games, with experts analyzing their meaning. Robinson’s father recognized him in surveillance footage and, with a pastor’s help, alerted authorities, leading to his arrest. Robinson is held without bail on aggravated murder and obstruction charges as prosecutors weigh the death penalty.
