Utah And The Search Warrant Affidavit Filed Against Tyler Robinson (8/21/26)

The affidavit supporting a search warrant in the case against Tyler Robinson laid out investigators’ developing theory that Robinson was the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk during the September 10, 2025 event at Utah Valley University. Investigators described surveillance footage tracking a suspect before and after the shooting, the recovery of a rifle believed to have been used in the attack, and evidence they said connected Robinson to the weapon and the surrounding circumstances. The affidavit also detailed information obtained from Robinson’s family and others after authorities released images of the suspected shooter. According to the warrant materials, Robinson allegedly admitted to his father that he was responsible, and his family subsequently became involved in arranging his surrender. Investigators used those statements, the physical evidence and Robinson’s movements to establish probable cause to search locations, accounts and devices they believed could contain additional evidence.

The affidavit also revealed considerably more about Robinson’s alleged communications after the shooting, including messages with his roommate and romantic partner, Lance Twiggs. Robinson allegedly instructed Twiggs to look underneath his keyboard, where investigators later said they recovered a handwritten letter in which Robinson described leaving home “on a mission” and stated that he had the opportunity to kill Kirk and took it. The warrant materials further described messages in which Robinson allegedly discussed the rifle, efforts to retrieve or conceal it, concerns about his family recognizing the weapon, and his eventual decision to surrender. Investigators also sought access to electronic communications and online accounts, including Discord activity, as they attempted to reconstruct Robinson’s planning, motive, movements and conversations surrounding the killing. Taken together, the affidavit presented the search requests as part of a much broader effort to preserve digital and physical evidence and determine exactly what Robinson allegedly did before, during and after Kirk’s death.
