The traces of DNA taken from two objects found near the place where the fatal shooting of Conservative activist Charlie Kirk corresponds to the DNA of the suspect detained by the authorities, Tyler Robinson, announced FBI Kash Patel on Monday, according to AFP.
After this drama that shocked America and highlighted the political divisions, on September 10 in the campus of a university in Utah, the police collected numerous evidence, “including a screwdriver, which was found on the roof” where the shooter was. A “wrapped” towel around the rear rifle was also found on the spot, FOX News said.
“I can announce today that the traces of DNA on the towel wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver correspond to the suspect currently under arrest,” said Kash Patel.
Strongly criticized for his non -professional statements from the beginning of the case, the FBI chief also mentioned a message that would have been left by the suspect before taking action.
“The suspect wrote essentially,” I have the opportunity to eliminate Charlie Kirk and I will do it, “Patel said, adding that FBI has” evidence “of the existence of this ticket, which would have been destroyed in the meantime.
Authorities say Robinson jumped off a roof before fleeing the campus of Utah Valley, a few moments after shooting. He then fled through a forest in a nearby neighborhood, leaving the firearm wrapped in a towel.
Although the suspect, identified as Tyler Robinson, 22, from Utah, had “a left -handed ideology”, according to the governor of the state of Utah, no precise reason for this crime was advanced, notes News.ro.
The alleged criminal, a brilliant student in high school, raised in the Mormon faith of Republican parents, will be charged on Tuesday.
Robinson is currently under “special supervision” by Utah authorities. The police say it did not cooperate during interrogations.
