Charlie Kirk’s assassin, Tyler Robinson, made contact with a police officer several hours after he fatally shot Kirk.
According to Fox News, around 6:30 pm on the day of the assassination, 22-year-old Robinson made contact with an officer posted up at a perimeter near where the murder weapon was discovered.
Robinson fatally shot Charlie Kirk at 12:23 local time during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10.
Reports of Robinson’s encounter with law enforcement line up with text messages sent to his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs.
Robinson told Lance Twiggs that he wanted to go back to retrieve his rifle
“I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering,” Robinson wrote in a text to Twiggs at an unspecified time on September 10.
Robinson told Twiggs that police officers were swarming the area: “There is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don’t wanna chance it.”
“I’m wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle,” Robinson wrote. “I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpas rifle.”

Fox News reported:
Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University earlier this month, “made contact” with a police officer near where investigators recovered the alleged murder weapon wrapped in a towel in the woods at the edge of campus, according to two law enforcement sources.
It happened around 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 10, roughly six hours after a sniper’s bullet struck Kirk in the neck as he was engaging the audience during a speaking event sponsored by the UVU chapter of his organization in Orem, Utah.
The officer was guarding the perimeter after authorities placed the campus on lockdown, and the encounter appears to have thwarted the suspect’s attempt to recover the Mauser .30-06 rifle prosecutors allege was used to kill Kirk.
Robinson was charged with:
– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child
