Unearthed messages raise disturbing questions…
Federal investigators are reviewing a series of social media posts that may have referenced or hinted at the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk prior to the fatal shooting at Utah Valley University.
The content of the posts, which have been described as “suspicious,” has not yet been independently verified. However, federal sources have indicated the material is serious enough to warrant a full probe, particularly if any indications of foreknowledge or coordination are confirmed.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
The posts — one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place — were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson’s roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok.
The FBI has received archived copies of the posts, according to a person who flagged them for the agency. Screenshots of the posts have been circulating online but had not been previously authenticated.
While the posts do not establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson, the 22-year-old gunman who allegedly shot Kirk, several of them mention the conservative activist by name and fantasize about his death.
“itd be funny if someone like charlie kirk got shot on september 10th LMAO,” one X account posted on September 3.
According to Mediaite, another suspicious post included one from a user who followed Robinson’s transgender partner on Instagram. The user declared “WE FUCKING DID IT” above a post about Kirk’s death. (RELATED: Charlie Kirk Shooting Suspect Immersed In Online Communities — Any Wider Ties?)
Suspect in Custody, Forensic Evidence Reported
Robinson has been arrested in connection with the killing. Investigators say DNA and ballistics tie him to a rifle at the scene, while a screwdriver recovered from him matched other evidence from the venue.
In addition, there are reports that Robinson made a prior confession in a Discord chat.
Potential Implications of Online Clues
If the social media posts are authenticated and shown to contain predictive or premeditative content, it could significantly widen the scope of the case — suggesting the possibility of coordination or even conspiracy.
Federal agents are said to be examining whether the online activity was part of a broader network of radicalized individuals. The issue of social media as a vector for extremist ideologies has become an increasing concern for law enforcement and national security analysts.

Suspect Remains Uncooperative
Robinson is reportedly refusing to cooperate with authorities. He is currently under “special watch” as jail officials assess whether he poses a suicide risk.
His arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday.
A Targeted Killing
Charlie Kirk, 31, was widely recognized as the most influential conservative youth leader in the country — and arguably the world. He was speaking at a student event in Orem, Utah, when the shooting occurred.
Authorities have not officially disclosed a motive, but investigators say Kirk’s prominence and the suspect’s political ties point toward ideological targeting.
