On September 13, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said, ¡°This man is deeply inspired by leftist thinking.¡± Cox also said that Robinson was influenced by extreme cyber opposition and he was addicted to some of the dark ¡°deep dark networks¡± of the Internet. Cox warned, ¡°The Internet and social media sites are causing harm to all of us, and these companies have known how to invade our brains, addicting us to anger and making us hate each other.¡±

According to law enforcement agencies, Robinson's roommate Tveges was "shocked" to learn about Robinson's alleged crime and "very cooperated" with the authorities' investigation, giving police records of all his conversations with Robinson. The Tveges investigation found that he had supported Biden on social media and also joked about receiving ads for treatment of schizophrenia and marginal personality disorder.

On September 14th, US President Trump severely criticized the "left" for inciting hatred, which led to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He also said a "major investigation" against interest groups was already underway as part of the murder investigation.

Investigators have collected information that shows that Robinson comes from a conservative family, but his ideas are very different from those of his family. Official Utah profile shows that Robinson's parents are both registered Republicans and voted for Trump in the 2024 election.

Suspect Robinson

An investigation of Robinson himself shows that he likes furry animals, and the cartridge casing of the bullet he used to shoot Kirk is engraved with "owo" indicating cat face in English social media context. It is reported that his online image embodies a mix of "gamer-style humor and irony".

Four alumni who graduated with Robinson from local Pine View High School described Robinson as a quiet, shy and unsociable child.

In response to Robinson's criminal motive, federal and state law enforcement officials are currently reviewing left-wing groups in Utah to see if anyone knew about Robinson's alleged plan in advance or gave him support afterwards.

Robinson will appear in court for the first time on September 16 and is currently facing a number of preliminary charges, including aggravating murder crimes, heavy gun use crimes and crimes obstructing justice.
