The FBI is intensifying its investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk , driven by evidence suggesting that Tyler Robinson , the alleged lone gunman, may not have acted alone, according to a report by RadarOnline.The 22-year-old was arrested after a 33-hour manhunt following the fatal shooting at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, but recent findings point to a possible wider conspiracy involving accomplices.FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed extensive efforts to explore the possibility of additional shooters, spurred by compelling new footage and forensic evidence. Video obtained from a homeowner’s doorbell camera shows a man believed to be Robinson communicating via cellphone soon after the shooting from the campus rooftop, raising questions about coordination, according to RadarOnline.Further, conservative commentator Candace Owens reported she was shown footage by an acquaintance of a tactical-gear-clad sniper preparing to shoot, described as resembling a “foreign agent” and wielding a smaller firearm than Robinson’s purported World War I-era rifle.FBI investigations also scrutinize suspicious “hand gestures” made by men standing behind Kirk moments before the assassination, which some interpret as signals linked to the attack.Robinson’s post-attack communications on Discord , a platform popular among gamers, have become a focal point, with FBI agents pursuing dozens of individuals connected to him online.Text messages recovered from Robinson indicate a premeditated intent, including a chilling confession to a romantic partner stating he had “enough of [Kirk’s] hatred” and that he had planned the attack for over a week.His associates and other Discord users are under investigation, with several persons interrogated or slated for questioning. Utah prosecutors have charged Robinson with aggravated murder and are seeking the death penalty, highlighting the severity and premeditation behind the crime.Q: Is there confirmed evidence of a second shooter?A: While no second shooter has been arrested or positively identified, video footage and eyewitness accounts have raised suspicion.Q: What is known about Tyler Robinson's motives?A: Text messages and recovered notes suggest Robinson had planned the attack for over a week, driven by political hatred towards Kirk.
