Background of the Incident
Charlie Kirk, 31, was tragically shot and killed during an outdoor event on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. This event was part of his “The American Comeback Tour,” aimed at engaging students on college campuses in discussions about pressing issues.
Robinson allegedly fled the shooting scene, which prompted a widespread manhunt. He turned himself in to authorities on the night of September 11, 2025, the following day.
This case is still developing, and further updates are expected as the legal proceedings continue.
