“Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson, who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years,” Cox said. That family member recalled a dinner prior to Sept. 10 in which Robinson had discussed Kirk’s visit to UVU, criticizing the conservative commentator’s views. “The family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” Cox added.”
(Matt Margolis) Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced Friday morning during a joint press conference with the FBI that law enforcement had taken Tyler Robinson into custody in connection with the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The arrest comes 33 hours after the deadly shooting at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot during a public appearance.
“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him,” Cox told reporters in a solemn briefing. He explained that the breakthrough came after a family member of Robinson reached out to authorities on the evening of Sept. 11. “A family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend, who contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.”
