On Sunday, Kirk named Lieutenant Michael Byrd as Ashli Babbitt’s killer on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.

“We’re still in the ‘allegedly’ phase but according to Real Clear Politics and Real Clear Investigations it looks that, we’re pretty certain to believe that it’s a man by the name of Lieutenant Byrd, Michael Byrd,” said Kirk. “and there’s more information that is going to come out around this in the coming weeks.”

Here’s a clip from Sunday Morning Futures:

But Charlie wasn’t the first personality to name Lt. Byrd as Ashli’s shooter. In a Townhall article published Apr 14, 2021, titled “Who Really Has Privilege,” filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza also identified Byrd as Babbitt’s killer.

“I happen to know the name of that cop [who shot Babbitt], but you really have to dig to find it. By the way, the guy is Lieutenant Michael Leroy Byrd,” said D’Souza. “That’s the guy who did it but you’ll almost not see that in a single media report.”

“Where’s the trial, where’s the investigation, where’s the report on why this was a justified killing,” D’Souza went on to ask. “Ashli Babbitt after all was unarmed.”
