Charlie Kirk's killer was identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old who was charged with aggravated murder. Robinson was apprehended after a 33-hour manhunt and reportedly confessed to the shooting. He allegedly planned the attack over a week and expressed to his roommate and family that he was motivated by what he perceived as hatred spread by Kirk. Robinson mentioned he had "enough of this hatred" and left a note saying he had the opportunity to "take out Charlie Kirk" and intended to do so. DNA evidence linked Robinson to the crime scene, and he was arrested after surrendering to authorities under careful conditions. The motive appears to be related to political and social views, but some details remain unclear and under investigation.
