New surveillance video has surfaced showing the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk near the Utah Valley University campus just hours before the fatal shooting. Tyler Robinson, the alleged shooter, was seen on camera walking toward the campus in the early morning of September 10, wearing the same clothes later identified from the attack. The footage is the first to capture Robinson in the vicinity prior to the crime.
TMZ obtained and released the footage, which shows Robinson at approximately 8:07 a.m. He was dressed in a maroon T-shirt, light-colored shorts, sunglasses, a baseball cap, and sneakers—matching the initial eyewitness descriptions. Police believe he later returned to the area in a gray Dodge Challenger around 8:30 a.m., shortly before Kirk’s speaking event.
Investigators now have a clearer timeline of Robinson’s movements. A second video, reportedly taken after the shooting, shows Robinson in dark clothing walking calmly through a residential neighborhood near the university. This change of attire has prompted further questions about premeditation and attempts to evade identification.
Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and a leading voice in the conservative Christian movement, was shot and killed while attending a public event at the university. The murder shocked supporters nationwide and has raised alarms about rising hostility toward conservative figures.
Robinson was arrested following an extensive manhunt and faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm. Prosecutors have not yet finalized formal charges, but the surveillance footage is expected to serve as key evidence in court.
The video footage highlights law enforcement concerns over growing threats to public figures, especially those who speak out on politically sensitive issues. The attack has intensified calls for increased security at university events and renewed focus on politically motivated violence targeting conservative voices.
