Overview

• Tyler Robinson, 22, was indicted on seven counts including murder, with Utah County prosecutor Jeffrey Gray saying he will pursue the death penalty; Robinson appeared in court and remains jailed without bail, with the next hearing set for September 29.
• Investigators report DNA on a towel wrapped around the rifle and on a screwdriver near the scene matching Robinson’s profile, and the FBI says the weapon was recovered close to campus as agents also examine his Discord contacts.
• Authorities cite a handwritten note attributed to Robinson expressing an intent to kill Charlie Kirk, now reported destroyed, along with messages to a roommate and statements to family saying he was tired of Kirk’s “hate.”
• Robinson was identified within 33 hours after his parents recognized him in police images, and he surrendered after they urged him to turn himself in.
• The White House is framing the shooting as left‑wing domestic terrorism and says an Antifa designation is under consideration, while AFP verified that a widely shared photo showing Robinson in a pro‑Trump shirt was manipulated.
