DNA found at the spot where Charlie Kirk’s assassin hid has been positively matched to the suspect, Tyler Robinson — who also wrote about his plans to “take out” the conservative debater, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed early Monday.
DNA matching Robinson, 22, was found on a towel that covered the murder weapon when it was ditched — as well as a screwdriver found in the sniper’s nest on a roof, Patel told “Fox & Friends.”
“I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA from the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody,” Patel said.
Further DNA found on the bolt-action hunting rifle believed to have been used in last Wednesday’s shooting is still being analyzed to determine its links to Robinson, the FBI boss said.
Robinson also wrote a note saying that he had an opportunity to “take out Charlie Kirk” and that he was “going to take it,” Patel said.
“His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left-wing ideology and even more so in these last couple of years,” Patel said, adding that authorities have seen evidence of a “text message exchange” between Robinson and a second individual.
“He claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for,” he said.
Patel confirmed that Robinson is not cooperating with authorities as he praised the FBI’s handling of the investigation.
“If you look at historical cases like [Luigi] Mangione and the Boston [Marathon] bombing, those two manhunts took five days,” he said. “We apprehended our suspect in 33 hours because we were transparent and open.”
