Charlie Kirk Shooting Suspect Identified as 22-Year-Old Utah Man


Authorities have named Tyler Robinson as a suspect in the murder of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, citing Discord messages as evidence of his alleged role.

The tip was relayed through local law enforcement to the FBI and Utah county investigators, who matched Robinson’s gray Dodge Challenger and clothing to campus surveillance footage from the day of the shooting. FBI director Kash Patel outlined the bureau’s role in the investigation, stressing the speed of the response and coordination with Utah authorities. He said agents arrived on scene within 16 minutes of the shooting, secured the area alongside local police, and quickly began moving evidence to FBI labs in Quantico for analysis.
