Charlie Kirk: Utah governer calls for death penalty for shooter
"I want to make it crystal clear right now to whoever did this, we will find you. We will try you and we will hold you accountable for the furthest extent of the law. And I just want to remind people that we still have the death penalty here in the state of Utah."
"The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement. Our investigation continues and we will continue to release information in interest of transparency https://t.co/YXsG6YpFR5- FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) September 10, 2025"
"There has been confusion among reports over who exactly has been arrested. According to the BBC, Patel and Utah Governor Spencer Cox said a suspect (presumed to be the one now released) was in custody - but another official, Beau Mason, said the suspect was at large."
Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA co-founder and conservative pundit, was shot dead during an event at Utah Valley University on 10 September. FBI Director Kash Patel initially reported a subject was in custody and later stated that the person in custody was released after interrogation. Utah Governor Spencer Cox said a person of interest was in custody and warned the shooter would be found, tried, and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, noting Utah still has the death penalty. Conflicting reports arose about who was arrested, and officials provided ongoing updates while investigations continue.
