Charlie Kirk Assassinated – Suspect Identified as 22-Year-Old Tyler Robinson Who Claimed Kirk ‘Spreads Hate’

A gunman fatally shot right-wing activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, sending shockwaves through the US political scene. Authorities have now identified 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the alleged gunman, following an intense search that gripped the state.
Governor Spencer Cox confirmed Robinson’s arrest at a press briefing on Friday, revealing that a tip from a family member ultimately led authorities to the suspect. “We got him,” Cox declared, highlighting the rapid resolution of the case.
Robinson, described by relatives as having grown more politically vocal in recent years, reportedly expressed disdain for Kirk’s views. According to the governor, a family member revealed that Robinson told others Kirk was “full of hate and spreading hate.”
Disturbing digital evidence has emerged from Robinson’s Discord messages, showing discussions about retrieving a rifle and monitoring its location. Investigators photographed the messages directly from the app, which included detailed plans for handling the weapon before the deadly attack.
Investigators reportedly found anti-fascist slogans etched on unused bullet casings at the scene, adding a chilling layer. One read, “Hey, fascist! Catch!” while another referenced the iconic anti-fascist song “Bella ciao.”
The fatal shot struck Kirk in the neck as he addressed a crowd at Utah Valley University, leaving the 31-year-old activist dead. Former President Donald Trump quickly commented on the incident, emphasizing its national significance and announcing the suspect’s capture before the official press conference.
Kirk, known for his dynamic presence in right-wing politics and his influence in mobilizing the youth vote, had amassed a large following that played a role in Trump’s election victory. His death marks a significant moment in US political discourse and raises urgent questions about political violence on college campuses.
As law enforcement continues to investigate, the nation grapples with the shocking act and its implications for the country’s political tensions.
