On September 10, 2025, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and fatally wounded during a scheduled public event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. At the time of the incident, George Zinn was identified as the alleged shooter and taken into custody by campus security and local law enforcement. Zinn was later released and subsequently arrested on unrelated charges. The manhunt continued for 33 hours. On the evening of September 11, Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old resident of Washington, Utah, was arrested without incident. The following day, Utah Governor Spencer Cox confirmed Robinson as the sole suspect in the shooting.
