Robinson lives in Utah and has been on the run since Kirk’s assassination Wednesday.
Robinson’s mother posted on her Facebook paged he aced his ACT and had a 4.0 GPA in High School — it was posted in August, 20202, when he was a senior. The mom posted a video of her son reading a letter, saying he received a $32,000 national scholarship to Utah State University.
The FBI and Utah’s Governor Spencer Cox held a news conference Thursday night, pleading for the public to provide leads, based on photographs from surveillance video taken at the school where Kirk was shot.
He was wearing a distinctive sweatshirt and his facial features were clear enough that his dad recognized he was the man on the roof when the single shot rang out.
