Overview

  • Robinson, 22, surrendered in St. George after family and a pastor intervened, and officials say he later confessed to the FBI.
  • Prosecutors charged him with aggravated murder, illegal discharge of a firearm and obstruction, and Utah authorities intend to seek the death penalty if he is convicted.
  • Investigators recovered a Mauser rifle and ammunition engraved with phrases including “Bella ciao,” and state officials maintain he acted alone on campus.
  • FBI officials say his transgender partner is cooperating; agents seized devices for analysis, are reviewing Discord communications, and are examining a possible note linked to the case.
  • Turning Point set a Sept. 21 memorial at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, while the administration asked Congress for $58 million to expand security for officials and judges.
