Major new evidence surrounding far right commentator Charlie Kirk's death has been revealed by the FBI, with DNA evidence and a shocking note found at the suspected scene of the crime.
Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk was shot dead while at Utah Valley University as part of his 'American Comeback' tour, with a bullet hitting the 31-year-old's neck from a rifle shot on the nearby roof of the Losee Center.
Officials have officially named and apprehended the primary suspect in the shooting, with 22-year-old Tyler Robinson turned into the FBI by a family member close to him.
Kirk has received many tributes across social media and the political world, with both Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump offering their thoughts after his passing alongside some key political live streamers.

While the FBI has already revealed 'disturbing' Discord messages sent by Robinson just hours after the shooting took place on Wednesday, September 10, new evidence has been revealed in a recent press conference, including a shocking note and DNA.
As reported by LADbible, FBI Director Kash Patel announced that a note found at the scene revealed Tyler Robinson's intentions to 'take out' Charlie Kirk, adding that they have also been made aware of a text message exchange between the suspected killer and a second individual.
"He claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for," Patel declared at a recent press conference.
Officials also added that DNA evidence was found on the aforementioned note, a towel used to cover the weapon when it was discarded after Kirk was shot, a screwdriver found at the suspected vantage point, and the bolt-action hunting rifle which authorities believe was used by Robinson, although it remains currently under analysis.
Patel and Utah Governor Spencer Cox also detailed on Friday that several messages were inscribed on the bullets used by the suspected shooter, with 'thousands of leads' being followed at the crime scene.
One fired bullet suspected to be the one that killed Kirk had 'notices, bulges, OWO, what's this?' inscribed on it which is a phrase specific to online culture, particularly within Discord communities, whereas others had 'Hey fascist! Catch!', 'o bella ciao, bella ciao', and 'If you read this you are gay' written on them.
As per Sky News, Dr. Lindsay Hahn of University of Buffalo who specializes in ideological extremism estimates that these were written as a means to "get a message across and therefore be talked about online," and that the messages themselves do not necessarily indicate a specific political ideology or motivation.
