The FBI announced a $100,000 reward for any information in connection with the person who shot Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University — before the arrest of Tyler Robinson. While the manhunt was on, several private individuals, including Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz, conservative activist Robby Starbuck and billionaire Bill Ackman, offered to increase the amount.But it was Tyler’s father, Matthew Robinson or Matt Robinson who turned him in after he identified his son from the videos and photos that the FBI released. Tyler threatened his father that he would end his life rather than getting arrested but his father convinced him and they got in touch with the law enforcement, making Tyler’s arrest possible. In custody, Tyler has not yet confessed to the crime and will make his first court appearance today. But questions are being raised as to what will happen to the reward money. Tyler’s father is officially eligible to get the money as FBI guidelines allow rewards for tips from family members if the information directly aids the investigation.But claims are floating on social media that he refused to take the money and offered to donate it to Charlie Kirk’s Foundation. However, there is no confirmation of the same and it is not yet confirmed whether he got the money or not. Matt Robinson received praise for his brave act to hand his son over to the law enforcement at a time when he could face the death penalty for killing Charlie Kirk. Matt is a registered Republican and a Trump supporter. The family cooperated with the investigation and told cops that Tyler had become more political in recent years and hated Kirk.

Tyler Robinson in court today: What to expect

Utah Governor Spencer Cox earlier said that Tobinson would be formally charged today. “There will be much more information that is released in the charging documents as they’re bringing that together. I’d just like to remind people that press conference on Friday, we had been up all night trying to get as much as we could in a very short amount of time. We’re collecting much more, including forensic evidence that is coming back from Quantico that will help us tie the shooter to the weapon and everything else. That is all being processed right now, and there will be much more information on Tuesday when that document is filed with the courts,” Cox said.
