🚨BREAKING: 4chan identified Skye Valadez which has a SoundCloud with a track that was uploaded a month ago titled “Charlie Kirk Dead at 31” – but deleted the track and changed his location to “leave me alone.” The same gentleman was also spotted at an earlier tour date, questioning Charlie and lives in Utah.
After a flurry of updates from officials, here’s what you need to know:
The suspect
His name is Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from from south-west Utah
Officials confirmed he was not a student at Utah Valley University (UVU). After the news conference, Utah State University has confirmed Robinson had briefly studied there in 2021
Cox said a family member had described how Robinson had become “more political” in recent years and previously told a relative that he disliked Kirk
Messages were found on bullet casings at the scene, including “Hey fascist! Catch!” and “if you read this you are gay lmao” – the BBC’s Mike Wendling says this could give possible clues to his motive
His mugshot has been released by authorities and he is being held in custody.
Robinson was found by authorities and arrested in Washington, Utah, on 12 September. He was wearing clothing consistent to that worn by the suspect in the video footage
