(Based Underground)—FBI Director Kash Patel says his team have a DNA match at the scene of last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk. The DNA of Tyler Robinson, the accused assassin currently in custody, was found on a screwdriver and a towel found near the roof where the fatal shot was taken.
“I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody,” Patel said.
According to Fox News:
Patel made the statement during a Monday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” saying the suspect’s DNA was found on a screwdriver as well as a towel that was wrapped around the firearm believed to have been used in the shooting.
Authorities say Robinson jumped off of a roof before fleeing Utah Valley University’s campus moments after the shooting. They say he then ran through a patch of woods into a nearby neighborhood, leaving the towel-wrapped firearm in the woods.
Robinson is currently under “special watch” with authorities in Utah. Police say he has not been cooperating during interviews.
