The screams that echoed across the Utah Valley University campus that night still haunt those who witnessed it. Flashes from dozens of cameras flashed continuously, gunfire mixed with the smell of burning plastic from the bullet-riddled speakers, creating a chaotic and suffocating atmosphere. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, collapsed just seconds after the fatal shot to the neck. But was it simply a young gunman “acting alone”?
Greg Rogers, a former FBI agent who worked with biker gangs and extremists and now a criminology professor at UVU, spoke out: “This is not a one-man show. Someone is pulling the strings.” That warning sparked a wave of fierce debate across the United States.
“Intentional” traces left behind?
According to reports, Tyler Robinson, 22, went up to the white roof across from the campus, waiting for the moment Kirk raised his head in the crowd. But Rogers insists that Robinson’s actions – from shoe prints on the roof, the gun clumsily hidden in his pants, to his boasting on Discord – are all like a “set-up play,” making it easy for any investigator to track him down.
“He’s too clumsy, too naive. A ‘freelance’ assassin rarely leaves so much evidence. I suspect he’s just a pawn,” Rogers emphasizes.
Anonymous source: “There’s a second one”
An anonymous student told the local newspaper that he saw “another dark figure” moving near the roof area right before the shot. Some witnesses even said they heard two shots, not just one. The security footage abruptly cut off for three seconds at the exact moment Kirk collapsed, further fueling the cover-up theory online.
On Twitter, the hashtag #WhoIsBehind was flooded: “Tyler Robinson is just a puppet”, “Who benefits from Kirk’s death?”, “The political conspiracy is too obvious”.
Tyler’s parents: Tears and unbelievable truth
When the FBI released the suspect’s photo, Robinson’s parents were the first to call and recognize their son. They burst into tears and agreed to cooperate. But a close source revealed that in a private moment, Mrs. Robinson exclaimed: “My son is not smart enough to plan this.” The statement was quickly leaked, adding fuel to the fire of suspicion.
Two opposing opinions
The side that believes in conspiracy: Believes that Robinson was manipulated by an extremist force, provided with weapons, and even “programmed” him as a chess piece. Kirk’s death was not only a personal crime but a political attack on freedom of speech.
The opposition: Emphasizes forensic evidence: shoe prints, DNA, the gun, confessions to friends. “It’s all so obvious. This is just a delusional celebrity.”
This division turns the case into a “crack of trust” in American society.
Conspiracy to cover up?
A shocking detail: just before the speech, the school’s security drone system… stopped working. Rogers asks: “A random technical problem? Or did someone turn it off?” So far, no agency has claimed responsibility.
On Discord, Robinson’s chats were revealed. But many messages disappeared within minutes of the FBI’s seizure. A former forum administrator revealed: “Something was done that erased the most important things.”
The crowd shook
UVU students recounted that thousands of people jostled each other, some crying, some filming livestreams, the ambulance sirens drowning out the voices of lecturers calling for first aid. A female student sobbed: “We saw red lights, smoke and blood… but the most haunting thing was the whisper: ‘Don’t believe what you see’.”
Unanswered questions
Tyler Robinson will face the death penalty, but was he really the only one responsible? Or was there a carefully choreographed “political drama” behind that gunshot?
Whether true or a conspiracy, Charlie Kirk’s death has left a huge void and a deep wound in the heart of America.
