Utah authorities have released the official mugshot of 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, providing the public with the first clear look at the man accused of gunning down the Turning Point USA founder since the crime took place.
The image, disseminated by the Utah County Sheriff’s Office on Friday, just two days after the fatal shooting at Utah Valley University, depicts a stoic Robinson with a blank expression, his dark hair slightly disheveled and eyes fixed directly at the camera, evoking a sense of cold detachment.
His face appears unmarked, with no visible signs of injury or distress from his arrest, which occurred late on Thursday following a tip from his own father via a local minister.

Robinson’s slim build matches the description from surveillance footage of the sniper who fired a single deadly shot from a rooftop 200 yards away using an imported Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle.
Background details on Robinson continue to trickle out, painting a portrait of a seemingly ordinary yet highly capable young man gone astray.
As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Robinson’s mother once proudly posted his near-perfect ACT scores from March 2020 on Facebook, a composite 34, with perfect or near-perfect marks in math, English, reading, and science, highlighting his academic prowess that placed him in the 99th percentile nationally.
Kirk, aged 31 at the time of his death, leaves behind his wife, Erika, two small children, and a legacy of championing free speech and conservative values among young Americans.
Formal charges are pending.
The Gateway Pundit will continue to monitor this story closely, bringing you updates as more details emerge.
