Tyler Robinson, 22, accused of killing political activist Charlie Kirk, is being held without bail after a Utah judge ordered his detention Friday. Court documents show Robinson has no prior criminal record but faces charges including aggravated murder, felony firearm discharge, and obstruction of justice. Formal charges are pending.
Investigators recovered a bolt-action rifle in nearby woods, believed to be the murder weapon. The FBI is examining the firearm along with palm and footwear prints. Ammunition found at the scene carried unusual engravings tied to memes, video games, and internet subcultures. Digital media experts cautioned that while such phrases may seem nonsensical, they can carry coded meaning in certain online communities.
