“Mistaken Identity”: Grandmother Speaks Out After
Tragedy and Arrest
On September 10, conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.
Two days later, the FBI named 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the prime suspect.
His arrest has divided public opinion, especially in his hometown.
Family Defends Robinson
Robinson’s grandmother, Debbie, called him “quiet, reserved, and apolitical,” adding he “never owned a firearm.”
She believes the FBI “have the wrong man.”
Evidence and Legal Battle
Investigators found a bolt-action rifle, prints, and surveillance footage near the scene.
A family tip helped lead to Robinson’s arrest, though no direct link has been publicly confirmed.
Governor Spencer Cox questioned whether Robinson had been “recently radicalized.”
Two Families, One Tragedy
While the Kirk family mourns, the Robinsons fear losing their son.
Legal experts expect a fierce trial as prosecutors push forensic evidence and
the defense highlights Robinson’s clean record and character.
