Newly surfaced court filings are shedding light on a crucial piece of evidence in the killing of Charlie Kirk — and raising fresh questions rather than providing answers.
At the center of the dispute is a damaged Bullet fragment recovered from Kirk’s body, per the New York Post.
According to prosecutors, the fragment was too compromised for investigators to definitively link it to the rifle allegedly used by Tyler Robinson.
That uncertainty has fueled speculation online, with some suggesting the fatal shot may not have come from Robinson’s weapon. But prosecutors say the inconclusive finding does not support that claim either.
Court documents referencing analysis by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives explain that “the result of the comparison was inconclusive.” The report itself has not been publicly released.
The fragment, described as a “Bullet jacket fragment,” was collected during an autopsy and compared to a .30-06 hunting rifle allegedly tied to Robinson.
