Overview

• Tyler Robinson, 22, surrendered at a Washington County sheriff’s office after his parents recognized him from FBI photos and persuaded him to come in during the 33‑hour manhunt, according to charging documents and local officials.
• Robinson is charged with aggravated murder and related counts, is being held without bail, and prosecutors have filed death‑penalty enhancements, with his next court appearance set for Sept. 29, Deseret News reported.
• Detectives recovered a .30‑06 bolt‑action rifle wrapped in a towel near the campus, and the FBI director said DNA from the towel and a screwdriver matched Robinson; shell casings bore meme‑style inscriptions cited in the filings.
• Charging documents describe texts to Robinson’s roommate that appeared to admit responsibility and a note referencing an opportunity to “take out” Charlie Kirk, along with statements to family that Kirk “spreads too much hate.”
• The FBI says it is examining whether anyone aided the suspect and is reviewing his online activity, with reports noting scrutiny of the group Armed Queers SLC and a Steam account using Donald Trump’s name, though officials have not assigned a definitive motive.
