In the midst of the manhunt for Kirk’s Killer, the FBI announced a reward of $ 100,000 on Thursday for information that led to the arrest of the murderer, as a result of which potential respondents contact the tip line of the FBI and to submit photos or videos in a website for the shooting.
The suspected murderer, Tyler Robinson, was arrested at the end of Thursday in Washington County, Utah.

He said that Kirk was his friend since the age of 16 and that Kirk was an “incredible man” who, according to him, was the “most impactful voice of our generation”.
“He would never hurt anyone. It breaks my heart that it was he was injured,” said Bruesewitz. “He only wanted to have conversations with people. He only wanted to debate against people. He didn’t use violence. He didn’t use violent rhetoric. He just spoke the truth.”

Conservative activist Robby Starbuck followed by promising to match Bruensewitz’s contribution and bring the combined reward to $ 150,000.
Starbuck added that he hoped that others would do the same and that the reward should be “higher” because “this monster must receive the death penalty.”
Billionaire Bill Ackman responded to a post with the commitments of Bruensewitz and Starbuck and added that “I am for $ 1,000,000.”
