Utah state officials revealed etchings on both spent and unspent shell casings recovered at the scene of Charlie Kirk‘s September 10 assassination at an event at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah. While the exact motive is still unclear, etchings on the shell casings recovered at the scene point to a potential political motive for the crime.
News of the etchings came the same day authorities arrested 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson in connection with the right-wing influencer’s murder. Robinson has not yet been formally charged. Law enforcement apprehended Robinson on September 12, 2025, in Washington County, Utah, which is located many hours away from the UVU campus. Reports say Robinson is not a student at UVU.
