The FBI has uncovered disturbing evidence linking 22-year-old Tyler Robinson to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. Robinson allegedly expressed hatred toward Kirk, referring to him as “full of hate and spreading hate,” during a family dinner. A family member alerted authorities after the shooting, leading to Robinson’s arrest.
Forensic analysis revealed Robinson’s DNA on a towel wrapped around the murder weapon and on a screwdriver found at the sniper’s location. Engravings on the bullet casings, including phrases like “Hey fascist, catch,” suggest a politically motivated attack. Digital evidence from Discord chats indicates Robinson had planned the assassination, discussing the acquisition of a bolt-action rifle and its concealment.
Robinson remains in custody, facing capital murder charges. Investigations continue into whether he acted alone or as part of a broader plot.
