Charlie Kirk murder suspect made sick joke about $100K FBI reward as friends threatened to turn him in

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was reportedly chatting online with friends after the FBI released photos of the alleged killer. The New York Times reports that Robinson was messaging with 20 individuals online following the shooting at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, where Kirk was fatally shot during a speaking event.

According to the report, Robinson engaged in disturbing exchanges with friends who recognized him from the FBI photos. One person reportedly tagged Robinson in a post featuring the FBI images and asked where he was at the time of the murder. Robinson allegedly responded that it was his doppelganger trying to get him in trouble.
