An old bodycam footage of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the Charlie Kirk shooting, has gone viral, showing him in conversation with an officer amid an incident of a collision. The footage is from an incident that happened in 2022, according to reports.
The video shows Tyler, who was 19 at that time, with his younger brother. The footage, unearthed by Scripps News, shows Tyler explaining to the officers how his Audi collided with another car at an intersection. "(The other driver) would've been there going left, and as I was coming through, he turned in, and I T-boned into the side of him. "Just as I left the house, I put oil in it. Just topped it off," the teen is heard saying.
The incident pertains to a collision that happened between Tyler’s Audi and another Ford Sedan. Nobody was injured in the incident, and no citations were issued, according to Unilad.
Tyler then informs the police that their mother is on the way to provide insurance details. His mother arrives and duly gives their information to the police.
Many commented about Tyler’s demeanor in the video, with one stating he looked emotionless. “His Mom seemed nice, but he def came across as a bit autistic and a liar,” one commented.
“So he tried to kill someone back then, too?” another user wrote.

“Chilling how moments like this look ‘ordinary’ at first—yet later we see it was the spark of a much darker radicalisation. The question is: how many more Tyler Robinsons are out there right now, invisible until it’s too late?” another wrote.
Some tried to add a conspiracy angle to it, stating that Tyler was saying “car” in the bodycam footage, contrary to “vehicle” in the text messages released by the police after the shooting. "It just proves that the text messages released by the police are fabricated," one said.
