The investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk continues as details emerge about the accused shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah. Robinson faces charges including aggravated murder and is being held without bail in Utah County Jail, according to officials.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Robinson has refused to cooperate with investigators.

Authorities are probing his ties to online gaming and “dark internet” culture, citing messages engraved on bullet casings referencing memes, video games, and anti-fascist lyrics.

A note reportedly left by Robinson is under review. His roommate, who was transitioning, has been cooperating with investigators.

Utah Attorney General Derek Brown has not ruled out pursuing the death penalty. Meanwhile, lawmakers in Washington expressed alarm about rising political violence.

Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump honored Kirk at a Washington vigil, with Trump blaming the left for fostering an environment of hostility.
