Sunday was a moving, heartbreaking day as the nation honored Charlie Kirk in a stunning memorial at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Almost 100,000 were in attendance while millions more watched online.
But the twisted story of the assassin and his possible accomplices continues on. FBI Director Kash Patel posted to social media Sunday to say the investigation into what happened and who else might be behind it marches onward:
As the Director of the FBI, I am committed to ensuring the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination is thorough and exhaustive, pursuing every lead to its conclusion.

The full weight of America’s law enforcement agencies are actively following the evidence that has…
The tweet is long, but here are some highlights as Patel explains that the possibility of accomplices—or at least people who knew beforehand what was going to happen—is still very much on the table:
The full weight of America’s law enforcement agencies are actively following the evidence that has emerged, but our efforts extend beyond initial findings. We are examining every facet of this assassination.
They are looking into social media, “hand signals,” rumors, anything connected to the case that might shed light on the tragic murder:
We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was transported, hand gestures observed as potential “signals” near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter’s residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10, 2025.
This group has been the subject of law enforcement interest, as we have reported—were they in contact with Robinson, and/or did they support his plot? They disappeared from social media immediately following the killing.
The group associated with the assassination must be investigated & dismantled.

Tyler Robinson was in contact with many of its members.
These people are literal communists, and they must be stopped. pic.twitter.com/GiFqaNnc9S
COWARD: Alleged Charlie Kirk Killer's Negotiated Surrender Takes Hypocritical Cowardice to Whole New Level
Although the director said the bureau could not release every bit of information they uncover to “protect the integrity of the investigation and subsequent prosecution," he did not knock down speculation about a plane that people were theorizing might somehow be involved:
Regarding specific details, such as questions about the plane that allegedly turned off its transponder after departing from an airport near the assassination site, we can share updates when answers are confirmed. After interviews with the pilot and consultation with the FAA, we determined the transponder was not turned off. Incomplete flight data in rural areas caused the apparent gap.
He ended by saying that the FBI, like so many of us, grieves over the senseless murder:
The entire FBI mourns the loss of Charlie Kirk. We will not rest until justice is served, and our investigation into this assassination will continue until every question is answered.
It’s imperative that we get answers and not just a whole lot of “no comments” and “that’s classified” statements. This is a chance for Patel and the FBI to restore America's trust in the vaunted institution. Let’s hope they take it and reveal every facet and every perpetrator in this tragic story.
