FBI investigates social media accounts appearing to have knowledge of Charlie Kirk shooting beforehand: report

The FBI is investigating social media accounts that appeared to have knowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk before killing took place last week, according to the Washington Free Beacon. There are at least seven accounts that are under investigation, the outlet said.  

Three sources with the FBI told the outlet that the agency is investigating the social media posts, with one even referencing September 10 —the date of the assassination—before the killing took place. The post using the date in question was made over a month before the incident occurred. All the posts were also deleted in the days following the assassination of Kirk at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with Kirk's murder.  

Several of the social media accounts also appear to belong to those that identify as transgender, according to the Beacon. At least one of the social media accounts on TikTok also followed Lance Twiggs, the transgender roommate that Robinson has a romantic relationship with.  

One social media post from a user with the handle @TallyHallAlbum posted on Sept. 3, "it'd be funny if someone like charlie kirk got shot on september 10th LMAO." 



One post that said, "september 10th will be a very interesting day" that was made on August 6 was shared again by the user who posted saying, "I plead the fifth" when the assassination took place. However, that post was then shared by "churbum75m (SAW TYLER JUNE 30)," and also follows Twiggs with the account.  



Just minutes after Kirk was pronounced dead, the "churbum75m (SAW TYLER JUNE 30)" account said online, "WE F*CKING DID IT." The post also included an announcement that Kirk had been pronounced dead.  



Multiple accounts under investigation appear to be related to LGBTQ subcultures online. One account "@NajraGalvz," which had wished that Kirk was killed the day before, said the day before the shooting, "Lets just say something big will happen tomorrow."



Additionally, an individual posted on TikTok the night before the shooting took place, with the text in the video saying, "charles james kirk. mr college dropout does not know what’s coming tomorrow. be ready...this isn't a threat it's a promise."



The investigation into the posts comes as the FBI has been investigating whether or not pro-transgender groups in Utah were already aware that the shooting would take place. Additionally, the leftist group "Armed Queers SLC" removed their social media profiles from the internet in the days following the assassination.
