Charlie Kirk
Discord Says Platform Not Utilized in Suspect’s Homicide Plan
Printed
Discord was not utilized by Tyler Robinson to both plan the homicide of Charlie Kirk or to cover the proof … TMZ has realized.
A Discord spokesperson tells TMZ … “In the course of our investigation, we identified a Discord account associated with the suspect, but have found no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord.”
The assertion goes on … “The messages referenced in recent reporting about planning details do not appear to be Discord messages. These were communications between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting, where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.”
Authorities say Robinson’s roommate confirmed them Robinson had made “a joke” on Discord after which confirmed investigators the messages, which included “‘Tyler’ stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush … and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel.” Discord appears to be saying these communications weren’t on its platform … reasonably on a be aware that Robinson had written, off the positioning, to his roommate.
BTW … Discord says it has eliminated Robinson’s account.
Utah authorities have mentioned that as of this level, they consider Robinson acted alone, however the investigation is ongoing.
