It’s been one month since Charlie Kirk was assassinated while participating in a debate event at Utah Valley University (UVU), and still several questions remain.

While the university has a “September 10 – Charlie Kirk Event FAQ” section on its website, many of the provided answers, if not all of them, have been known for some time. This includes the type of event, the number of people in attendance, whether Kirk had been to the campus before and a brief reference to security measures, among other topics.

FOX 13 News Utah, based in Salt Lake City, reported that its public records requests regarding the assassination remained in limbo, as the university had neither granted nor denied them. The station said it received notices that the university needs more time to respond due to the “high volume” of requests.

Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Kirk, is facing charges of aggravated murder, obstruction and witness tampering. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. He was arrested in St. George, Utah, after authorities said his family confronted him about his resemblance to law enforcement photos of the suspect, leading him to allegedling admitting his involvement. 

It is still unclear how exactly Robinson managed to flee the scene. While surveillance video shows him arriving on campus at approximately 8:30 a.m. MDT, his precise escape route and movements after the shooting remain a mystery.

People gather to watch Charlie Kirk side by side with Tyler Robinson mug shot.

On Friday, exactly one month after Kirk was assassinated, Robinson requested permission to wear civilian clothes in court and to appear without shackles and cuffs. Attorneys representing Robinson cited Idaho student murderer Bryan Kohberger’s case in their argument that the motion would preserve his constitutional rights to a fair trial.

They argued that “the repeated and ubiquitous display” of photos showing their client in a jail jumpsuit “will inevitably lead to prospective juror perception that he is guilty and deserving of death.”

Robinson has not yet entered a plea and is due back in court on Oct. 30.

Fox News Digital reached out to UVU for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
