Tyler Robinson

By Massimo Basile - La Repubblica

The killer of a conservative activist has confessed to police. He had no criminal record and acted alone. His family told investigators that he had recently "become more interested in politics."

The killer of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist killed Wednesday during a public event at a Utah university, was arrested at 10 p.m. Thursday night. His name is Tyler Robinson, 22, and he has pleaded guilty. His escape lasted thirty-three hours. When FBI agents caught him at his home in St. George, a city of 100,000 people founded by Mormons 250 miles from the scene of the attack, he was still wearing the clothes he had been wearing the day before and that had been caught on surveillance cameras: a long-sleeved shirt with an American flag and eagle print, jeans, and light canvas shoes.

The investigation was prompted by the boy's father: when he saw the images that had gone viral on the media and social networks, he asked his son if it was him. Robinson told them everything. At that point, the father called a family friend, a clergyman, and told him to notify the authorities.

Robinson had no criminal record. According to investigators, he acted alone. His arrival at the area where he later carried out the attack was recorded by a surveillance camera: the young man was in a Dodge Challenger. He arrived at 8:29 a.m. on Wednesday. At 11:52 a.m., he was seen climbing a staircase inside the campus. At about 12:10 p.m., he shot Kirk in the throat. A single bullet, but it proved fatal. The activist, on the first stop of his political tour of conservative America, was answering questions from the public. He was 31 years old, married and a father of two.

The killer was not a former student at Utah Valley University, where the attack occurred, but had attended Utah State University for a semester. News of anti-fascist graffiti found on the ammunition inside the rifle, initially reported and then denied by investigators, has been confirmed again.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox, a Republican, said the first unexploded shell casing found bore the words: "Hey, fascist, take this!" followed by three inverted arrows, a symbol commonly used by anti-fascist movements. A second shell casing read: "Oh Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, bye, bye."

A third wrote: "If you're reading this, you're gay, lmao." Lmao is an acronym for "Laughing My Ass Off." It's said to be an ironic phrase, often used for mockery online. The bullet fired at Kirk read: "warnings, shots, OWO, what's this?" OWO, according to investigators, may be an online acronym for wonder: The Os would stand for eyes with bulging eyes, and the W represents a laughing or surprised mouth.

The rifle, an imported Mauser 98 bolt-action precision weapon, was found in a wooded area near the university campus. It was wrapped in a towel. The rifle had a scope mounted on it.

The family told investigators that the boy had recently become "more interested in politics." Before the Sept. 10 attack, the day of the attack, at dinner with his family, Robinson had mentioned that Kirk was attending Utah Valley University, and while talking about him, he said he "didn't like him and the opinions he had." He told a family member that "Kirk was full of hate and spread hate." According to messages found on the Discord chat platform, the boy had planned the attack, hidden the gun so it wouldn't be found, and chose to wear distinctive clothing to confuse investigators. His T-shirt with an American flag and eagle initially led to suspicions of a "nationalist."

After the arrest was confirmed, more photos of Robinson were posted online: two of them show him in his room, a small television screen on, his hands in his pockets. Two others, released by police, show him in his first official appearance after his arrest, the "police photo." He is photographed frontally and in profile. Robinson's hair is uncombed.
