"Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said family members told authorities that Robinson "had become more political in recent years." They recounted to authorities a dinner table conversation in which he mentioned Kirk's upcoming visit to Utah Valley University and they discussed whether the activist was spreading hate. State records show Robinson is registered to vote but not affiliated with a political party and is listed as inactive, meaning he did not vote in the two most recent general elections. His parents are registered Republicans."

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson on suspicion of aggravated murder after Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University. Prosecutors are preparing formal charges and the suspect is expected to make a first court appearance next week. Investigators searched Robinson's family home in Washington and interviewed relatives. Family members reported that Robinson had become more political and referenced a dinner conversation about Kirk's campus visit and whether Kirk was spreading hate. State records show Robinson is a registered, unaffiliated, inactive voter. Ammunition engraved with anti-fascist and meme-culture taunts was found with the weapon. Kirk's family plans a memorial next week.
