This is today’s live post on Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
What we know so far:
Authorities confirmed they have Tyler Robinson in custody. His mugshot:
They also confirmed the writings on the ammunition casings:
GOV. COX: I know there has been speculation as well as to the the writing on those casings — those — those — those bullet casings and I believe we have that as well. And I will share that with you now. So, the area north of Campus Drive Road, where the suspect crossed over, you saw some of that in the video that we released last night consist of a grassy area with trees on the edge of the UVU campus. Investigators discovered a bolt action rifle wrapped in a dark-colored towel. The rifle was determined to be a Mauser model 98 3006 caliber — 3006 caliber bolt action rifle. The rifle had a scope mounted on top of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions on a fired casing read: “Notices Bulges OW what’s this question mark’ Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read, ‘Hey, fascist! Catch! Point up arrow symbol, right arrow, and — symbol and three down arrow symbols.’ A second unfired casing read ‘oh, Bella, ciao, Bella, ciao Bella, ciao, ciao ciao.’ And a third unfired casing read, ‘if you read this, you are gay. Lmao.
It also sounds like Robinson had help, and yes, he hated Kirk over politics:
Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years. The family member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to September 10th, and in the conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had. The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate. The family member also confirmed Robinson had a gray Dodge Challenger. Investigators identified an individual as the roommate of Robinson. Investigators interviewed that roommate, who stated that his roommate, referring to Robinson, made a joke on Discord. Investigators asked if he would show them the messages on discord. He opened it and showed several messages to investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the screen. As each message was shown by Robinson’s roommate. These photos consisted of various messages, including content of messages between the phone contact name Tyler with an emoji icon, and Robinson’s roommate’s device. The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact Tyler, stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to a — to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel. The messages also refer to engraving bullets and a mention of a scope, and the rifle being unique. Messages from the contact. Tyler also mentioned that he had changed outfits.

Yeah, can I always say, I think just to protect us all, and so Fox doesn’t get sued, we all don’t want to get sued and everything else, but I think with a high degree of certainty, we have him right custody, in custody.Everyone did a great job. We worked with the local police, the governor. Everybody did a great job, you know, getting somebody that you start off with absolutely nothing, and we started off with a clip that made him look like an ant, that was almost useless.We just saw there was somebody up there. And so much work has been done over the last two and a half days. You know, it’s amazing, actually, when you start off with that and then all that, and then all of a sudden you, you get lucky, or talent, or whatever it is, but, yeah, we’re, I think we’re in great shape. He’s in custody.
I try not to post anything until it’s confirmed by authorities.
I’m going to make an exception in this case.
Supposedly a minister identified the suspect in the pictures the FBI released. He told a deputy US Marshal.
Then, reportedly, the suspect confessed to his father, who told authorities.
The father kept his son around until authorities picked him up.
