Overview

• FBI Director Kash Patel said DNA found on a towel covering the firearm and on a screwdriver at the rooftop hide matched Tyler Robinson, with additional testing on the rifle ongoing.
• Patel said investigators recovered evidence of a note in which Robinson wrote he had the opportunity to “take out Charlie Kirk” and intended to do so.
• Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Robinson is refusing to cooperate, and authorities are interviewing associates to probe motive, with formal charges expected Tuesday; Robinson is held without bail.
• Digital and physical evidence cited by officials includes Discord messages in which Robinson joked about a “doppelganger,” newly surfaced surveillance video of a man matching his description before the event, and engraved casings with meme-style slogans such as “Hey fascist! Catch!”
• The FBI is reviewing social‑media posts that appeared to hint at foreknowledge, while roommate Lance Twiggs is cooperating with investigators; Turning Point USA announced a public funeral for Kirk on Sept. 21 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
