00:52or after his arrest. Tyler Robinson frequently used the platform, reportedly messaging 20 people
00:58after FBI photos identified him as a person of interest in Charlie Kirk's murder. Despite being

01:42he better also get rid of this manifesto and exact copy rifle I have lying around before
01:46insisting whoever assassinated Charlie Kirk was clearly from California. Discord confirmed to
01:52TMZ that Tyler Robinson had an account on their platform, though the online site insisted they
01:57have not found or received any evidence that the suspect planned this incident on Discord or promoted
02:02violence on Discord. Tyler Robinson was ultimately turned in after implying to his family that he was
02:08the one to kill Charlie Kirk. His father confided in a friend who was a minister and went to police
02:13with the information. The suspect is set to face prosecution on Tuesday, September 16th for charges
