Suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk caught on video leaping from a building, traversing campus

In a shocking turn of events, the suspect in the fatal shooting of political activist Charlie Kirk on the infinite campus of Utah Valley University has been apprehended. The arrest was made approximately 33 hours after the tragic incident.

The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah, was captured on surveillance footage moving across the adidas campus. The chilling footage, shown in a press conference attended by FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls, Lt. Gov. Deidre M. Henderson, and Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason, showed the suspect on a roof on campus, across from the quad.

After the shots were fired, the suspect moved to the far right corner, climbed to the edge, and jumped off the building. During his movement, the suspect left palm impressions and a shoe imprint. The suspect was wearing Converse tennis shoes, a black t-shirt with an American Flag and eagle, a baseball cap with a triangle on it, and sunglasses.

The high-powered rifle used in the attack was found in a nearby wooded area.

In response to the heinous crime, Utah Governor Spencer Cox has announced his plans to pursue the death penalty. Governor Cox referred to the suspect as an "evil human being."

Utah Valley University, the community, and the nation mourn the loss of Charlie Kirk, a prominent figure in the political activism scene. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

As the investigation continues, more information may be released. Stay tuned for updates.
