YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The suspect in the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, from Utah, officials said a news briefing Friday.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox said that investigators arrested Robinson after a family member alerted authorities that he had confessed, or at least implied involvement, in the killing. The tip was passed from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office to investigators at Utah Valley University and the FBI, who then reviewed surveillance footage of Robinson arriving on campus in a gray Dodge Challenger the morning of Sept. 10.

The video showed Robinson in a plain maroon T-shirt, light-colored shorts, a black hat with a white logo and light shoes. When investigators encountered him in Washington County in the early hours of Sept. 12, he was wearing clothes consistent with those images, Cox said.

A family member told investigators that Robinson had become more political in recent years. The relative recalled a dinner shortly before the shooting when Robinson mentioned Kirk’s planned appearance at UVU and criticized him as “full of hate and spreading hate.” The same family member confirmed Robinson drove a gray Challenger. Bloomberg's Myles Miller reports.
