Who is Tyler Robinson? What we know about Charlie Kirk's suspected assassin

By 2021, Robinson was shown moving into Utah State University (USU),

"Utah State University confirms that Tyler Robinson, the suspect arrested in the killing of Charlie Kirk, briefly attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021. We can also confirm that he was a pre-engineering major and took classes consistent with that major for his one semester,".

USU spokesperson Amanda DeRito told Fox News Digital that Robinson was awarded the school’s Resident Presidential Scholarship, its highest scholarship. She said Robinson had no disciplinary record during his time at the university. According to USU, the scholarship is reserved for top academic achievers.

At the time of his arrest, Robinson was a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College.

Investigators said surveillance video showed Robinson arriving at UVU in a gray Dodge Challenger around 8:29 a.m. on Sept. 10. A family member later confirmed to authorities that Robinson owned a vehicle matching that description.

Fox News Digital captured a gray Dodge Challenger parked in the driveway of Robinson's family home in Washington, Utah.

There's no indication of him being employed. He spent one year at the university and then three years at a technical college. It sounds like there are 1 to 2 years missing in his timeline (assuming he went to college at age 18).

The car in the Robinson driveway is a gray Dodge Challenger (a 2008–2014 second-generation model, based on the front grille design, hood vents, and overall styling). The average used price range is $12,000–$18,000 (nationwide as of September 2025, per listings on sites like Cars.com, CarGurus, and TrueCar). This can vary by exact year (e.g., 2010 models average ~$14,500; 2012 models ~$16,000), condition, location (Utah market is similar to national averages), and any modifications. Low-end (higher mileage or base condition) are $8,000–$10,000. High-end (lower mileage, better condition, or upgraded trim like R/T) are $20,000–$25,000.

Assume he's at the $15,000 midpoint. Where did he get the money to buy the car with no job or career and being a perpetual student? Maybe it was a gift from Mom & Dad. Or perhaps he "earned" via "contributions" from nefarious partners in the murder plot. I'm sure the authorities will be looking into his finances.

I hope we hear a lot more about him than we heard about Crooks.

The “Media” nerds keep asking what happened to fill the Aunt Teefuses boy with a nice Challenger and 600,000 home to become so full of hatred. The answer is simple. A university full of Marxist aho “perfesers” happened. He’s a perfect example of why people should not allow their kids to go to college. Send them to trades schools. Screw the Prostitutions of Communism, Marxism and Muslim Terrorism.

It certainly raises a few red flags when someone with a large merit-based scholarship to do electrical engineering at a 4-year college quits after only 1 semester... to do what? Screw around playing video games and piddling with electrician courses for 3 years at community college? Smart but underachieving and troubled kid. Idle mind is the devil’s playground.

He spent only one semester at college in pre-engineering. Hardly enough to become indoctrinated. Then he spend three years in trade school (as you suggest). I doubt he was radicalized at trade school in Utah.

But another post suggests his mom is a rabid Trump Hater and there is a photo of him sitting astride a trump Halloween “decoration.”

And where did the low-achiever perpetual student get the money to buy the fancy car?

How did he get on that roof by the way they allegedly showed pics of him coming down but how did he get up?

Just another question

“resume of every Antifa out there”

Yes. Drifting aimlessly, no accomplishments, no visible means of support, living with Mom & Dad.

The investigation needs to include what campus organizations he was part of and what was promoted / said in them, as well as what was said in the classrooms by any professors in the coursework he took.

I wondered. Any commercial building I have worked on or been in had locks on doors to the roof. We shall see.

This took a lot of planning, scoping/reckies, etc.

The notion its random aqnd he decides to get up one morning and do this is ridiculous

“Smart but underachieving”

Go watch the 1983 movie War Games. The FBI agents use the exact same phrase when describing Matthew Broderick’s character and point out that he “fits the profile”.

Where did he get gun advice and enough knowledge to engrave rifles and bullets? It seems out of character with his family upbringing. It suggests to me that more than one person is involved in the shooting.

This report does not tell us if he had any political affiliations, or any social media postings; things which would give us far more insight into his sick mind than does telling what sort of car he drove.

Kirk family lawyers need to sink their Sandy Hooks into the bank accounts of hatemongers.
