REPORT: Suspected Assassin’s ‘Secret Hideout’ Discovered

A veteran photographer who has spent decades working to break inside the minds of mass murderers claims he has discovered the “hideout” that allowed 22-year-old Tyler Robinson to evade authorities for nearly two days.

Robinson, who turned himself in Thursday night for the assassination of Charlie Kirk, committed an “intense and jarring” act of violence unlike anything Jeffrey Allred has seen, said the 62-year-old Pulitzer Prize-nominated photographer.

Tracing the path taken by the shooter, Allred told the Daily Mail he now understands how the individual was able to slip into campus, rise to a rooftop for a sniper’s vantage point, then disappear into the crowds that fled the area where Kirk, 31, was speaking.

An abandoned property in the suburb where Robinson allegedly fled provided the perfect cover for him to hide out, discard his rifle, and vanish into the expansive neighborhood.

“The shooter headed northeast over Campus Drive, which is a two-lane road,” Allred explained after showing the outlet the Losee Center rooftop where Robinson is alleged to have fired his hunting rifle. Footage shows the suspect jumping down from the roof and fleeing on foot as crowds screamed and dispersed.

The high-power bolt-action Mauser .30-06 rifle was later recovered by authorities at the vacant property.

After crossing the street, Robinson immediately darted into a red-brick building that is being renovated and is currently unoccupied, Allred explained.

“It’s a home that isn’t being lived in at the moment,” he said.

Allred continued: “There was a construction worker that I think he must have bumped into. I’m sure the house is wide open.”

“It’s quite a nice property in a well-to-do neighborhood. The man then went into the home. We don’t know how long he was in there for, but at some point, he left and disappeared.”

“The home must have been open because of the construction.

“We don’t know if the shooter knew about the house beforehand and had planned to go there, or if he stumbled onto it while getting away.”

As he began to photograph the renovated house, Allred said he was approached by an irate police officer.

“I was taking photos of the house and a local police lieutenant guarding the area approached me,” he recalled.

“He confirmed the subject had been there and told me to leave.

“There was no crime scene tape, but he seemed upset and wanted me to go, perhaps because they were still investigating the area.”

The photographer said he still can’t account for how Robinson was able to leave the abandoned property and make his way home. He posited that a vehicle may have been left waiting for him.

“There’s been speculation that the shooter left on a motorcycle left near the house or was in a car,” he guessed.

The photographer described his visit to the grounds of Kirk’s shooting as one of the most intense experiences of his long career.

“I would say that it’s a very intense scene,” Allred told the Daily Mail.

“People are horrified. Most people that I’ve talked to have seen the video of the actual shooting, and they cannot believe it.”
