Overview
- Investigative reporting detailed that Tyler Robinson shared a Wordle score less than an hour before the Sept. 10 shooting and messaged on Discord about the attack roughly 80 minutes later.
- Friends told The Washington Post that Robinson later joined a voice chat, saying, “He got hit pretty bad” and “I’m pretty sure he’s dead,” while charging documents quote a post‑incident message to his roommate: “I had enough of his hatred.”
- Robinson’s defense moved to remove the entire Utah County Attorney’s Office, arguing a prosecuting attorney’s family member was at the event and that no screening was implemented within the office.
- A virtual hearing on Dec. 29 will address media‑access issues, and an in‑person hearing on Jan. 16 will take up the disqualification motion, with prosecutors already signaling they will seek the death penalty.
- Authorities say Robinson’s parents recognized him in released images and persuaded him to surrender; he is charged with aggravated murder and has not entered a plea.
