Pursuit of the individual implicated in the murder of Charlie Kirk
In a series of events that unfolded on the campus of Utah Valley University on September 10, a shooting incident occurred during an outdoor event featuring conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Thirty-three hours later, the suspect, whose identity has not been explicitly confirmed in the provided search results, turned himself in willingly.
The day before the shooting, Tyler Robinson, a person of interest in the case, wrote a chilling note to his roommate, saying, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I'm going to take it." This revelation came to light after the exchange of messages between Robinson and his roommate, which showed that Robinson had planned the shooting for over a week.
The shooting itself was heard as a rifle shot, and security surveillance footage captured an individual dressed in dark clothing on the roof at approximately 12:15 pm local time. The apparent suspect entered campus at 11:51 am, wearing a black shirt with an American flag in the center, a dark baseball cap, and large sunglasses.
The Utah Valley University police officer began looking for potential sniper positions and found impressions in the gravel consistent with a person in a prone shooting position on a roof area, which he identified as a potential shooting position. A rifle with a scope was found in the woods nearby, wrapped in a towel, containing one spent round and three unspent rounds.
The unspent rounds were engraved with messages such as "hey fascist catch," a video game cheat code, "oh, Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao, ciao, ciao," and "if you read this, you are gay, lmao." Robinson's DNA was discovered on the gun's trigger, the shell casing, two cartridges, and the towel.
Robinson's background offers a complex picture. His mother stated that he had recently become more politically active and leaned towards supporting gay and trans rights. However, Robinson's father, who has become "hardcore MAGA" since Trump returned to the White House, and Robinson's different political views led to several discussions. Robinson began dating his roommate, who was transitioning genders.
In the days leading up to the shooting, Robinson hinted at being the shooter during a phone call with his parents, stating he didn't want to go to prison and was ready to take his own life. Robinson also expressed concern about losing a rifle belonging to his grandfather and planned to turn himself in willingly, as stated in a message to his roommate.
As the investigation continues, the community awaits confirmation of the suspect's identity and further details about the motives behind this shocking incident.
