Overview

• FBI Director Kash Patel said DNA from a towel that wrapped the rifle and from a screwdriver at the scene matches suspect Tyler Robinson.
• Patel said investigators recovered forensic evidence of a note written before the shooting stating, “I have the opportunity to eliminate Charlie Kirk and I will take it.”
• Robinson, 22, remains jailed without bond, has not cooperated with investigators, and is expected to appear in state court Tuesday as prosecutors finalize aggravated counts.
• Media reports describe Discord messages in which Robinson allegedly told friends he was responsible; the platform says it provided relevant communications to authorities.
• Officials are reviewing shell‑casing inscriptions with antifascist and videogame references for motive clues, as security tightens around political events and Trump plans to attend Sunday’s stadium memorial.
