Manhunt Ends: Tyler Robinson Arrested for Fatal Rooftop Sniper Attack on Charlie Kirk at Utah Campus

Tyler Robinson, age 22 and a resident of Utah, has been identified and arrested as the shooter who killed political activist Charlie Kirk. The incident happened while Kirk was giving a speech at a Turning Point USA rally at Utah Valley University, where he was addressing a crowd of approximately 3,000 individuals.

Police indicate that a single fatal shot was fired from approximately 175 yards on a rooftop. Security cameras caught Robinson ascending stairways, traversing rooftops, and fleeing into the nearby residential zone. A bolt-action rifle, believed to have been the murder weapon, was discovered later in a wooded area.

The researchers discovered significant forensic data at the crime scene, such as a palm print, forearm impression, and foot prints. The rifle shell is reported to have had the sinister markings: "Hey fascist! Catch!"—suggesting premeditation and ideological intent.

Robinson was identified by a family member who recognized him from FBI-released photographs. His father, having taken a recommendation from a youth pastor familiar with law enforcement, convinced Robinson to surrender. He was arrested in St. George, Utah, ending a two-day manhunt.

Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative and founder of Turning Point USA, was recognized for organizing young Americans. His death has ushered in national grief and intensified political rhetoric.

The authorities are continuing to examine the gun and monitor Robinson's movements, seeking additional details about planning and motive for the assault.
