The ATF has launched a parallel investigation tracking the weapon’s movement across state lines. Early indicators suggest that Robinson participated in online firearms exchange groups known for discussing unregulated transactions and sharing instructions for gun modifications. Digital footprints show that he accessed forums offering step-by-step guides on enhancing accuracy and fire rate. As agents reconstruct the weapon’s history, they are also examining whether Robinson had help acquiring the modification tools or whether others in these communities encouraged the alterations.
Witness testimony, meanwhile, has become a key element in unraveling the days leading up to the assassination. New witnesses have come forward since the release of additional evidence. One individual reported seeing Robinson in a café days before the shooting, speaking with an unidentified middle-aged man. The witness claimed the interaction looked “intense” and “purpose-driven,” describing the man’s gestures as instructional. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby businesses to identify this individual.
