Didn't his father say he confessed at home? Is there any reason to doubt his father?
You can see him hiding something in his pants that seems to be a rifle and he did have a rifle.
There is no photo of him shooting because there was no camera on him at the time, if that is the level of proof we need to convict someone of murder then we're in trouble.
I'm also willing to bet that the bullet that was retrieved from Kirk's body came from his rifle and maybe they do have gunpowder on him at the time.
version 1 - he was set up and someone used his riffle while Tyler was hiding something like a rifle for no reason and then he agreed to tell his family that he killed Charlie or his family is lying. Why would the father lie? He was a Christian.
version 2 - he actually killed him and now he is desperate because death sentence is on the table
edit: version 3 - there was a guy who looked like him to walk around with a rifle like item in his pants to frame him while someone else shoot Charlie with Tyler's riffle , gave the riffle back to him and asked him to take credit for the killing and now he was told to not talk because they plan to get him out. But why would he agree at all, useful idiot maybe? However he was in engineering so I assume he was not that dumb so makes no sense for him to agree to take the heat.
I'm just spitballing here - until I see more, I'm thinking this dude did it - but his dad did have military/law enforcement connections, right? An ex-sheriff, I think. A bunch of these shooters and alleged shooters have family law enforcement connections. It's possible, but not the likeliest explanation, that the dad's connections go deeper (a lot of local law enforcement still train with the feds, and even internationally), and he was willing to frame his estranged son. Again, I don't think so, but I just thought I'd address outside possibilities.
Again, to be clear, until I hear more, I think this guy is the shooter. Although there's also stuff not adding up, but that will hopefully be exposed down the line.
I prefer to think that no father would do that without an exceptional reason. The father is Christian so he would hope for the prodigal son to return.
Not if his father thought he was accomplishing some deranged idea of a "greater good". In his hypothetical mind of course.
I could see it from a leftiest but not a Christian conservative. The left is all about sacrificing for the "greater good"
