Tyler Robinson’s Father Pledges $1.15 Million Reward to Charlie Kirk’s Family

Miami, FL – September 16, 2025

The father of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has stunned the nation again. After turning in his own son, he now says he will donate the entire $1.15 million reward to Kirk’s family.

The bounty had swelled in the days after Kirk’s assassination. The FBI initially offered $100,000, with political figures adding contributions, and billionaire Bill Ackman boosting the total to $1 million. The final figure reached $1.15 million.

Authorities confirmed Robinson’s father was eligible for the payout after his tip led directly to his son’s arrest. Ackman himself had pledged the reward would be honored if the family was cleared of any wrongdoing.

But in an emotional statement, the father announced he would not keep a cent. “This is what a father is supposed to do. My son wronged the Kirk family, and it’s my responsibility to help him face that mistake. The money is enormous, but it’s not meant for me. I want it to go to the Kirk family instead.”

His words drew praise across social media, where many called the decision an act of courage and humility. Some described it as a remarkable attempt to offer healing after an unthinkable tragedy.

FBI officials said the logistics of transferring the funds to Kirk’s family will be coordinated in the coming weeks. Legal experts noted the move is unprecedented but could stand as long as all parties agree.

Ackman responded with respect on X: “I always keep my word. If the family wishes to give the reward to the Kirks, I will honor that. It speaks volumes about his integrity.”

For now, Tyler Robinson awaits trial. But his father’s decision to donate the reward ensures that this chapter will be remembered not only for violence and loss, but also for a father’s painful act of redemption.

Eagles Head Coach Announces A.J. Brown To Start On The Bench For Standout Rookie After Poor Performance vs. Broncos
  Philadelphia, PA — the Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach confirmed that A.J. Brown will start on the bench in Week 6 against the New York Giants, with the boundary starting spot going to rookie WR Taylor Morin—an undrafted signing out of Wake Forest who flashed through rookie camp and the preseason. The decision follows an underwhelming offensive showing against the Denver Broncos, where several snaps highlighted the unit being out of sync between Brown and Jalen Hurts. On a midfield option route, Hurts read Cover-2 and waited for an inside break into the soft spot, while Brown maintained a vertical stem and widened to the boundary to stretch the corner. The ball fell into empty space and the drive stalled. On a separate red-zone snap, a pre-snap hot-route signal wasn’t locked identically by the pair, resulting in a hurried throw that was broken up. The staff treated it as a reminder about route-depth precision, timing, and pre-snap communication—the micro-details that underpin the Eagles’ offense when January football arrives. Starting Morin is part of a plan to re-establish rhythm: the early script is expected to emphasize horizontal spacing, short choice/option concepts, and over routes off play-action to probe the Giants’ responses. Morin—who has shown strong hands in tight windows and clean timing in the preseason—should give the call sheet a steadier platform, while Brown will be “activated” in high-leverage downs such as 3rd-and-medium, two-minute, and red zone to maximize his body control, early separation, and the coverage gravity that can force New York to roll coverage. Facing the tough call, Brown kept his response brief but competitive:“I can’t accept letting a kid take my spot, but I respect his decision. Let’s see what we’re saying after the game. I’ll practice and wait for my chance. When the ball is in the air, everyone will know who I am.” Operationally, the staff is expected to streamline the call sheet between Hurts and Brown: standardize option-route depths, clearly flag hot signals, and increase game-speed reps in 7-on-7 and team periods so both are “seeing it the same and triggering the same.” Handing the start to Morin also resets the locker-room standard: every role is earned by tape and daily detail—even for a star of Brown’s caliber. If Brown converts the message into cleaner stems and precise landmarks—catching the ball at the spot and on time—the Eagles anticipate early returns: fewer dead drives, better red-zone execution when back-shoulder throws and choice routes are run “in the same language,” and an offense that regains tempo before taking on Big Blue. With Taylor Morin in the opening script, Philadelphia hopes the fresh piece is enough to jump-start the attack from the first series.
