Social Media Is Rattled After Pics Emerge Of Charlie Kirk Killer Tyler Robinson’s Disturbing Halloween Costume [PHOTOS]
The FBI has revealed the identity of the suspect they have in custody for the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump, who confirmed Kirk’s death after he was shot in the neck at Utah Valley University, was the first to break the news of the suspect’s arrest on Friday morning.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox has since unveiled Tyler Robinson as the suspect at a press conference, taking to the podium alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and other law enforcement officials.
Cox revealed that a family member of Robinson’s contacted a family friend, who in turn reached out to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, claiming that Robinson had either confessed to them or hinted that he was the shooter.
Officials then identified him in surveillance footage from Utah Valley University, in which Robinson was seen arriving at the school in a grey Dodge Challenger at 8:29 a.m. on Wednesday.
According to Cox, Robinson was “was observed in consistent clothing with those surveillance images” when he was arrested early on Friday morning.
“Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years,” Cox said, per NBC. “The family member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to September 10. And in the conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU.”
Tyler Robinson’s Old Photos Cause A Stir On Social Media
Old photos of Tyler are now being shared on social media, and everyone is now freaking out after someone unearthed Robinson’s Halloween snap from 2017, in which he can be seen wearing a Donald Trump costume.
Social media was incredibly disturbed by the discovery, given the initial profiling.
“The suspected shooter doesn’t really seem to fit the narrative of a radical leftist, does he? Conservatives are going to be pissed,” someone commented.
“Bro. There’s RECENT pics of him wearing a socialist tshirt come on,” another claimed.
“Yeah, no way someone can change ideology in 8 years with going to a liberal college, right? This was 2017,” said a third.
Robinson’s last voter registration date was July 13, 2021, and his political party is non-declared in public records.
Charlie Kirk’s body was flown to Arizona on Air Force Two on Thursday afternoon following Wednesday’s tragic incident. The 31-year-old conservative activist was engaged in debate with students at UVU when he was shot from well over 100 meters away.
