Overview
- Authorities said 22-year-old Utahn Tyler Robinson was taken into custody in connection with the shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
- Netanya’s mayor announced a traffic circle will bear Kirk’s name, and Israeli artist Dudi Shoval created memorial murals in Ashdod and Tel Aviv.
- Photos circulated of an Israeli missile inscribed “In memory of Charlie Kirk,” reflecting a practice that drew attention during the tributes.
- Benjamin Netanyahu eulogized Kirk and on U.S. television dismissed allegations of Israeli involvement as absurd, while separately positing an unproven theory blaming “radical Islamists and ultra-progressives.”
- The Anti-Defamation League counted over 10,000 X posts tying the assassination to Israel as investigators noted thousands of public tips and donors, including Bill Ackman, pledged reward funds.
