Tyler Robinson, a 22 -year -old student of the Utah business school, was arrested at the end of Thursday after a 33 -hour fall in connection with fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The authorities claim that Robinson was averted after he was implicated in the crime.
Academic background
Robinson’s academic record was impressive. In 2021 he graduated from a straight student and graduated from Pine View in St. George in Utah and recorded 34 years and placed it in the highest 1% of the test workers. In the same year he acquired a prestigious academic scholarship at the State University of Utah and briefly attended one semester before resignation.
Later he enrolled in Dixie Technical College, near his hometown, where he was at the time of his arrest in the third year of the electrician program. The program trains students for careers such as electricians, lighting techniques and repair experts.
Family and Education
Robinson grew up the oldest of the three boys in Washington, the city of about 30,000 people in South Utah. His father runs a granite album and his mother works in healthcare for people with disabilities.
The Robinson family has links to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Last Days (Mormon Church), although the neighbors have described them as inactive members. Social media contributions show that the family enjoyed traveling, camping and hunting. The photographs also depicted Robinson and his brothers with firearms, not unusual in a state with permissive arms laws.
A personal and political profile
Robinson was a registered voter, but was listed as unnatural and shows that he did not vote in the 2024 elections. His parents are Republicans, but Robinson’s own political tendencies remain unclear.
The authorities revealed that markings found on unused balls in the rifle, which are assumed to be used in shooting, included phrases like “Hey, fascist! Catch!” and “Bella ciao”, anti-fascist song WWI -ra. Another designation reflected the reference on game culture and promoted speculation on its ideology.
Shooting Charlie Kirk
On Wednesday (September 10) Robinson reportedly fired a single shot from a high -performance rifle, and at the same time lay on the roof overlooking the outdoor event of Utah Valley University. The bullet hit 31 -year -old Kirka in his throat as he approached the audience of 3,000 people.
Kirk, co -founder of the conservative youth group Turning Point US and a close ally Donald Trump, collapsed on stage and later died. Trump condemned the attack as a “abominable assassination” and the leaders on both sides condemned this act as a dangerous escalation of political violence.
Robinson remains in custody in Washington and is expected to face formal fees next week. Officials stated that he has no previous criminal record and his motive remains the subject of investigation.
