person
Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Washington, Utah, is the accused assassin of Charlie Kirk. Robinson fired a single shot from the roof of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, striking Kirk from approximately 200 yards away. Robinson was a student at Dixie Technical College and had reportedly been radicalized after UVU rejected his student club proposal. He left a manifesto citing Kirk's "culture war against education." Robinson fled to his parents' home in Washington, Utah, where he surrendered to the FBI on September 12 after his parents helped arrange his surrender. He faces federal charges and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
