Losee Center (Alleged Sniper Rooftop)
The Losee Center is the Utah Valley University building that sits directly east of the courtyard where Charlie Kirk was speaking on September 10, 2025. According to the probable-cause affidavit, the shot was fired from its rooftop, which overlooks the courtyard event area.
What the charging documents allege
Per the probable-cause affidavit filed in the case, surveillance cameras captured an individual — referred to in the document as "Suspect" — moving across campus and onto the Losee Center roof:
- ~11:50 a.m. — Suspect first seen crossing a grassy area north of Campus Drive near 800 West, then walking south through a parking lot to a pedestrian tunnel under Campus Drive, heading toward the Losee Center.
- ~12:02 p.m. — Suspect recorded on the north side of the Losee Center building.
- Suspect entered the building through doors on the southeast corner.
- ~12:15 p.m. — Walked up stairs to the common area, then to a short concrete wall separating that area from the rooftop.
- ~12:17 p.m. — Climbed over the wall and crouched on the roof.
- ~12:22 p.m. — Moved to a prone shooting position near the west edge, facing the courtyard.
- ~12:23 p.m. — Charlie Kirk was shot.
- Suspect then sprinted to the northeast corner, lowered himself off the roof onto the grass, ran north across Campus Drive, and fled into a wooded area where investigators reported recovering a Mauser Model 98 .30-06 bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel.
Investigators also reported a shoe impression on the northeast rooftop edge, consistent with Converse/Chuck Taylor soles, at the spot where the suspect climbed down.
Why the building matters
The Losee Center rooftop is the single most load-bearing physical location in the official narrative: it is where the state alleges the fatal shot originated. Its geometry — an elevated roofline overlooking an open courtyard with a clear sight line to the tented stage — is central to ballistics, sight-line, and timeline analysis. Questions raised by independent reviewers include how the suspect reached the roof unchallenged, why the elevated position was not secured, and how the gait described in surveillance changed between approach and escape.
These details are drawn from the publicly filed charging documents. Tyler Robinson is the accused and has been charged; he is presumed innocent, and the account above reflects allegations, not proven facts.
