New Footage Possibly Captured Charlie Kirk Shooting Suspect on Day of Killing By Nicole Acosta

The 22-year-old man accused of killing Charlie Kirk is believed to have been captured on a door security camera in the hours before the assassination.

Tyler Robinson was arrested after authorities allege he fatally shot Kirk, a prominent right-wing activist, from a building 200 yards away during a Turning Point USA rally on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem on Sept. 10.

According to the footage, obtained by LiveNow from Fox and published on Sept. 14, a gray Dodge Challenger that officials believe Robinson drove to campus that day can be seen traveling through a neighborhood in Orem around 8:23 a.m. — about four hours before the deadly shooting.

More than an hour later, the camera captures a man, wearing a maroon T-shirt and light-colored shorts, walking past the house. 

Officials previously said at a press conference that surveillance footage showed the shooter arriving at Utah Valley University’s campus at 11:52 a.m., just before the shooting, which took place at about 12:20 p.m. 

Footage also showed a man running away from the scene, jumping down from the roof before fleeing into a wooded area off campus. Recovered evidence includes a bolt-action rifle and forensic impressions lifted from the rooftop, including palm and forearm imprints and footwear marks.

Robinson has not been officially charged but is being held on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm and obstruction of justice, per a probable cause affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.

“They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” the governor said, adding that the suspect said that “Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate.”

State voter records also showed Robinson has not voted in the past two general elections and is registered as an unaffiliated voter, PEOPLE previously reported. Robinson was also enrolled in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College.

Over the years, Kirk had been a prominent voice in the right-wing movement and became a close ally of President Trump, even giving a speech at his inauguration in January 2025.
