Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson was arrested on suspicion of capital murder, felony discharge of a weapon causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice, according to the probable cause affidavit.
Tyler Robinson was arrested on Friday morning and booked on state charges; federal charges will likely be filed later.
“Charles was holding a microphone and speaking to a crowd. While speaking into the microphone, a loud gunshot was heard at approximately 1223 hours, and Charles appeared to have been hit in the neck,” Officer Brian Davis wrote in the probable cause affidavit. “Blood was seen coming out of the left side of his neck as he fell over to his left. Charles was transported to the Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem. Charles was pronounced deceased at the hospital.”
Authorities tracked Robinson walking across a grassy area north of Campus Drive at 11:50 am, approximately 23 minutes before he assassinated Kirk.
Robinson was captured on surveillance video running across the rooftop of the Losee Center building at 12:23 – seconds after he shot Kirk.
A family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to the murder.
Robinson’s father, a veteran police officer, confronted him after Utah authorities released new photos of the suspect on Thursday.
According to The New York Post, Tyler Robinson threatened to take his own life rather than turn himself in.
