On Friday, federal agents and local police swiftly arrived at the Utah apartment and childhood residence of Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, to execute a search warrant and seize the suspect’s Dodge Challenger.

A substantial police presence enveloped the usually tranquil Fossil Hills Townhomes community in St. George, Utah, home to the 22-year-old suspect, which is located over 260 miles from Utah Valley University, as reported by Fox 13 Salt Lake City.

Footage captured several marked and unmarked law enforcement cars parked inside a police-taped-off area outside the townhouse.

Footage from CBS News depicted federal agents stationed outside Robinson’s family home in nearby Washington as a tow truck hauled away a dark gray Dodge Challenger that had been parked at the residence.

Police believe Robinson drove the muscle car to the college campus in Orem hours before allegedly firing a single, fatal shot at the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder, who was hosting a Q&A as part of his ” The American Comeback” tour.

Kirk was pronounced dead a short time after the shooting and his body has since been flown back to his hometown in Arizona, escorted by Vice President JD Vance aboard Air Force 2 on Friday.

It was not immediately clear what was confiscated from Robinson’s apartment or home, except for his car.

Robinson’s neighbors were left in disbelief after learning the accused killer lived in their Washington County community that sits on the Utah and Arizona border.

“I just know them as very good people,” Alanea Shaw told Fox 13 Salt Lake City. “They are quiet and kind of keep to themselves a lot, but whenever I’ve needed anything, they’ve been able to come over and help, very graciously and kindly.”

Robinson is a third-year student at Dixie Technical College in St. George, after attending Utah Valley for a year.

One of his classmates was shocked to find out Robinson was the accused assassin.

“It’s just been a shock ever since you found out about, since I found out about the incident,” Carsen Knight told the outlet “And then I heard that he’s from St. George, and I’m like, man, that’s, that’s crazy. And then I see a picture of him and I’m like, I know this guy. I’ve seen him. I’m pretty sure I went to school with him.”

Robinson was identified by his father through surveillance photos released by police.

The elder Robinson confronted his son, who allegedly admitted to being the shadowy figure in the photos.

Robinson was turned in by his dad, but said he would rather kill himself than hand himself in, sources told The Post Friday.

Officials said Robinson was wearing similar clothes to the gunman’s photos when he was arrested.

The gunman perched himself on the rooftop of a building near the center of campus and fired a single shot from a .30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle.

Shells recovered by police had several engravings on them, including messages used in trolling and “furry” subculture.

Robinson was charged with aggravated murder, the only crime in Utah that carries the death penalty, along with felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury and obstruction of justice.
