FBI director releases bombshell statement about Charlie Kirk investigation – and it’s not over
Despite the suspect being in custody, the FBI is ‘meticulously investigating’ other things
The FBI has released a new statement about the investigation into the death of Charlie Kirk. Despite the suspect being in custody, it has confirmed there are more questions that need answering, and the investigation is anything but over.
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a speech at a Utah Valley University event. Suspect Tyler Robinson was arrested roughly 33 hours after Charlie Kirk was shot dead. He has since appeared in court over the incident. Robinson has been charged with murder, and faces the death penalty if he is later convicted.
But, the FBI is said to still be investigating other theories and rumours around what may have happened. The agency’s director Kash Patel has said things are still being “meticulously investigated”, including the possibility of any accomplices being involved. The FBI is also analysing further text messages sent by Tyler Robinson.

Kash Patel said: “As the Director of the FBI, I am committed to ensuring the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination is thorough and exhaustive, pursuing every lead to its conclusion. The full weight of America’s law enforcement agencies are actively following the evidence that has emerged, but our efforts extend beyond initial findings. We are examining every facet of this assassination.”

He added: “We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was transported, hand gestures observed as potential ‘signals’ near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter’s residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10, 2025.”
Videos of a man giving “hand signals” behind Charlie Kirk moments before his death went viral.
Patel continued: “Some details are known today, while others are still being pursued to ensure every possibility is considered. Our primary focus is to complete this investigation and deliver justice.
“To protect the integrity of the investigation and subsequent prosecution, we cannot release every piece of information we have to the public right now. We will ensure every question is addressed at the appropriate moment.”
