The arrest of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, the prime suspect in the shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has shaken the nation. But in a stunning twist, Robinson’s grandmother has broken her silence — and her words are raising serious questions about the FBI’s case.
Speaking to reporters, she described her grandson as “a shy, quiet, and studious boy who never once caused trouble in his life.” She insisted the authorities have the wrong man, calling it a “case of mistaken identity.”
“Tyler has never handled a gun in his life. He doesn’t hunt, he doesn’t even like weapons. There is no way he could have made that shot,” she said firmly.
According to her, Tyler spent his life buried in books and computers, not politics. While the FBI paints him as a radicalized lone wolf, his grandmother argued the opposite: “He never talked about politics with us. He’s not some extremist. He’s a wonderful child.”
She also highlighted the family’s Republican roots, even noting they supported Donald Trump. But she insisted Tyler never showed any passion for activism — making it hard for her to believe he suddenly turned into the figure the FBI now accuses him of being.
The FBI maintains they have “credible evidence” tying Robinson to the rooftop shooting at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was fatally struck by a sniper’s bullet. However, the grandmother’s defiance is sparking heated debate online, with many questioning whether authorities rushed to pin the blame.
For now, the nation is left stunned: is Tyler Robinson really the cold-blooded assassin behind Charlie Kirk’s death, or is this one of the most shocking misidentifications in FBI history?
