What we know about Tyler Robinson, the suspect who allegedly killed Charlie Kirk

22 -year -old Tyler Robinson, accused of killing Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, grew up in a quiet, strictly connected community in Utah, Washington, where most of the neighbors went to the same neighborhood church and recognized each other by their first names.

“I was shocked,” said the 66 -year -old neighbor Kristin Schwiermann said. “This is not the child I know.”

Like most of the people in the community, Scwiermann joined the Church of Jesus Christ, the Church of the Saints, the Church of the saints, shorter than a miles, Robinson, family and two brothers.

Therefore, when the quiet neighborhood was filled with strange vans, SUVs and other unmarked police cars at 19:30 on Thursday, it was strange for Schwiermann and others. He wondered if Charlie Kirk had anything to do with Utah Valley University, but there was no ink that could not contain Tyler Robinson.

Three gates were a drama in the Robinson’s house.

Tyler Robinson’s father Matt, his son’s long -sleeved T -shirt and jeans of jeans began to flash on television and computer screens throughout the country, the focal point of a desperate human prey.

According to a law that was not authorized to discuss the investigation, Robinson also sought the church bishop when he threatened to take his own life.

Schwiermann said that Robinson was close to his family and two growing brothers, and he would usually take a camp or hunting trips. According to public records, both parents had a hunting license.

“Close, hardworking and wise,” he said.

Robinson joined the Riverside Elementary, about half a mile away from the family house and worked as the head of Schwiermann.

“He was quiet, but he had friends at school and never caused problems, Sch said Schwiermann.

He was active in the church as a child, but he said he had participated less as he got older.

In 2021, St. He graduated from Pine View High School in George, and Schwiermann described him as bright and good with his school work, which helped him gain scholarships.

In 2020, his mother Amber Robinson wrote about his son’s college talent test score on his Facebook page and published a video where Robinson read a letter for a scholarship.

Robinson went to Utah State University in 2021, where he specialized in engineering, but after a period of permission.

Later, he continued his Dixie Technical College, which the school officials said he was in the third year education in the Electrical Apprenticeship Program.

There is no sign that Robinson has a criminal record in his name and date of birth in Utah.

According to the record data reviewed by The Times, Robinson registered as a partisan in Utah, and both parents were Republicans. His father worked with Granite stalls and his mother was a licensed social worker.

At a press conference that announced that Robinson had been arrested on Friday, Utah Governor Spencer Cox told the researchers that a family member was “Robinson has become more political in recent years ve and said that Robinson was dissatisfied for Kirk, whom he called“ hate -full ”and“ hate spread ”.

The inspectors are still looking at the evidence and trying to determine a reason in the massacre.

According to the authorities, with a bolt action rifle abandoned in a forest area, the researchers also rescued the ammunition carrying various signs.

Gravür on a bullet body in the rifle, “Hey fascist! Catch!” According to Cox.

Other cases, “Notifications, Bulges, Owo, what is this?” And “If you read this, you are gay lmao.” One is II.

When asked about the motive of the armed man, Cox suggested that the “hey fascist” marking clearly showed the intention of the armed man: “I think this is talking for himself,” he said.

However, extremist experts said it was too early to describe a motive based on signs in ammunition.

Brian Levin, the founder of Professor Emeritus and Hate Study Center in Cal State San Bernardino, said, “Only young attackers are gathered in social circles and online complaints, mental distress and aggression is a mixture of motivation immediately to attribute the motivation immediately,” he said.

“Derbiage, Mams, targeting, rough humor and immediate cultural references, severe symbolic attacks, often telegrams may be telegraph, but amorphous or discrete,” he said.

Joan Donovan, Asst. Journalism at Boston University and an extremist expert, the first rumors about the bullet storage marked with symbols of antifa or trans ideas, said very clear.

The messages in the preservatives reminded Donovvan to other manifesters and mass shooters who used the memes who killed 51 people in a mosque like 2019 Christchhurch, New Zealand shooter and the Islamic center.

Donovan said, “The message to the Mams would really be shooters to talk to others,” Donovan said. “It wasn’t about communicating to the media or transmitting even a serious message.”

Donovan said that the engravings in Robinson’s bullet enclosures are a message that does not fit easily as Hodgepodge. Anyone who is traded in such cynical messages in their online female enemy circles can be defined as “black fat” according to Donovan.

Donovan said, “Both dishonest and mocking,” he said. “When talking about ‘black thousand’ youth and upset with all the system, it makes sense to have someone who engraves bullets with very nihilistic arrogance.”
