在周日查理·柯克的追悼会上，美国联邦调查局导演卡什·帕特尔发布了柯克遇刺调查的最新进展，称美国联邦调查局正在“追查每一条线索”
22岁的泰勒·罗宾逊被逮捕并被指控谋杀柯克，但帕特尔说，美国联邦调查局正在调查“同谋的可能性”
“我们正在仔细调查各种理论和问题，包括枪击发生的地点，同伙的可能性，短信供认和相关对话，不和谐的聊天，枪击和子弹撞击的角度，武器是如何运输的，查理遇刺时在查理附近观察到的手势作为潜在的“信号”，以及在2025年9月10日之前的几个小时和几天里前往据称枪手住所的访客，”帕特尔在x上发表的一篇文章中说
帕特尔上周在众议院和参议院为期两天的监督听证会上也做出了类似的断言。
在线消息平台Discord证实了关于罗宾逊被拘留前大约两个小时的报道，据称他在平台上向一小群朋友发布了消息，说:“嘿，伙计们，我有一个坏消息要告诉你们……昨天在UVU的是我。我对这一切感到抱歉。”
帕特尔在参议院司法委员会的听证会上发表了不和谐的信息，称美国联邦调查局正在调查“与罗宾逊的不和谐聊天有关的任何人和每个人”。帕特尔说，“远远不止”有20人与罗宾逊的不和有关，“我们正在追查他们。...每一个人。”
“目前有一些人正在接受调查和审讯，还有一些人尚未接受调查和审讯，具体到那个聊天室。因此，我们非常重视我们正在进行的调查，”帕特尔告诉参议员，并补充说，其他人可能涉及。
帕特尔在周日的帖子中说，“整个美国联邦调查局都在哀悼查理·柯克的去世。在正义得到伸张之前，我们不会罢休，我们对这起暗杀事件的调查将继续下去，直到每个问题都得到解答。”
罗宾逊周二被指控犯有多项罪行，包括严重谋杀罪，检察官上周宣布他们打算寻求死刑。
罗宾逊周二没有提出抗辩。法官说，在他9月29日下一次出庭之前，法院将为他指定一名律师。
Patel says FBI investigating 'possibility of accomplices' in Kirk shooting
During Charlie Kirk's memorial service on Sunday, FBI Director Kash Patel posted an update on the investigation of Kirk's assassination, saying the FBI is "pursuing every lead."
Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested and charged with Kirk's murder, but Patel said the FBI is looking into the "possibility of accomplices."
"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," Patel said in a post on X.
Patel made similar assertions during two days of House and Senate oversight hearings last week.
The online messaging platform Discord confirmed reports that about two hours before Robinson was taken into custody, he allegedly posted messages to a small group of friends on the platform that said, "Hey guys, I have bad news for you all … It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this."
Patel addressed the Discord message during his hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying that the FBI is investigating "anyone and everyone involved in that Discord chat" with Robinson. Patel said there are "a lot more" than 20 people linked to Robinson on Discord, "and we're running them all down. ... Every single one."
"There are a number of individuals that are currently being investigated and interrogated, and a number yet to be investigated and interrogated, specific to that chat room. So we are very much in our ongoing posture of investigation," Patel told senators, adding that other people could be involved.
In his post on Sunday, Patel said, "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."
Robinson was charged with numerous offenses on Tuesday, including aggravated murder, with prosecutors last week announcing their intent to seek the death penalty.
Robinson didn't enter a plea on Tuesday. The judge said the court would appoint an attorney for him before his next court appearance on Sept. 29.
