22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah is expected to respond to court on Tuesday in connection with the murder of Charlie Kirk. He is currently in custody in Utah, which he cannot leave after paying the deposit. According to Sergeant, Ray Ormond Robinson, he is subject to increased supervision until his mental health is assessed. This process may take several days.
Investigators analyze the tracks, looking for the motive of the killer Charlie Kirk. One of the threads concerns the romantic relationship of the suspect with his roommate during transit and whether this relationship could have an impact on the tragedy – said the Governor of the State Utah Spencer Cox in CNN.
As Reuters emphasizes, the suspect does not cooperate with investigators, but his loved ones, including a roommate, yes.
Inscription on bullets and backstage of capture
“The Wall Street Journal” had earlier reported that engraved inscriptions on transgender and anti -fascist themes were found on the killer's missiles. This may indicate the political motive of the crime, especially since – according to the family's relationship – Robinson has recently become more interested in politics.
The CNN station also stated that – according to its sources – the detained man confessed to killing his father. It was he who was to inform the authorities and keep his son until the police arrived.
Among the instructions that helped investigators to indicate Robinson as a suspect, there were also messages that he sent on Discord.
