Overview

• FBI Director Kash Patel said agents are pursuing every lead, including the possibility of accomplices, the shooting location, bullet trajectory, weapon transport, crowd hand signals, and visitors to the suspect’s residence.
• Patel said legal process has been served on Discord to preserve evidence, with investigators reviewing activity tied to a chat of more than 20 users and evaluating an alleged admission posted the day after the shooting.
• Discord stated its internal review found no evidence that the suspect planned the attack or promoted violence on the platform.
• Patel acknowledged early missteps, including detaining two unrelated people and a premature announcement of an arrest, and he rejected a plane-transponder rumor by citing incomplete rural flight data.
• Tyler Robinson remains jailed on an aggravated murder charge as Utah prosecutors pursue the death penalty, with his next court appearance set for Sept. 29.
