PROVO, Utah â Surveillance video shown in court this past week has become a central piece of the case against Tyler Robinson, the Utah man accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The video compilation, presented Tuesday during Robinsons preliminary hearing, allegedly tracks the 23-year-olds movements around Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025, from his first arrival on campus hours before the shooting to his movements before and after Kirk was killed.
Utah State Bureau of Investigation Agent David Hull testified that investigators used campus cameras to work backward and forward from footage of a figure on the roof of the Losee Center for Student Success, where prosecutors say the fatal shot was fired.

The video does not show the actual shooting. But prosecutors said it shows the person they identify as Robinson accessing the roof, moving to the edge of the building, crawling into position and leaving moments after the shot.
Robinson is charged with aggravated murder in Kirks death, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. He has not entered a plea. The weeklong preliminary hearing was aimed at determining whether prosecutors have enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial.
About 8:30 a.m. Sept. 10: Investigators say a vehicle believed to belong to Robinson arrived at a UVU parking garage. Hull testified that the vehicle matched records for Robinson and had distinctive wheels. The driver, whom Hull identified as Robinson, wore a red or maroon T-shirt, gray or olive shorts and Converse shoes before walking onto campus.
Hull said Robinson went to the amphitheater area, where he made contact with representatives from Turning Point USA, Kirks organization, before returning to the garage around 9:25 a.m. and leaving in the vehicle.
Just after 10 a.m.: Hull testified that Robinson returned to campus on foot wearing the same clothing and carrying a blue backpack. Investigators tracked him to Chick-fil-A inside the Sorensen Center, where Hull said he bought food, sat down and ate. Robinson then moved across campus, crossed Campus Drive into a wooded area, and returned to campus without the backpack.
“He moves out across Campus Drive into a wooded area on what would be kind of the northeast side of Campus Drive, then returns back onto campus,” Hull explained as the video played in the courtroom. “We noticed at this point that he’s no longer carrying the backpack that he was originally wearing.”
