Charlie Kirk’s legacy, political violence & case against Tyler Robinson: One year later

Prosecutors say surveillance, forensic evidence and alleged messages link Tyler Robinson to the killing as Turning Point USA expands after Kirk’s death.

  • Today marks one year since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University, as Utah District Judge Tony Graf ruled the evidence sufficient for Tyler Robinson's case to proceed to trial on all charges.
  • The 31-year-old activist was fatally shot during his American Comeback Tour on September 10, 2025, sparking an intensive manhunt and widespread online misinformation as investigators worked to identify the shooter.
  • During a five-day preliminary hearing, prosecutors presented surveillance video, forensic testimony, and alleged messages connecting Robinson to the shooting, though the defense challenged DNA testing and ballistics findings.
  • Turning Point USA has expanded under CEO Erika Kirk, reporting more than 1 million student members and over 120,000 new contacts seeking to join in the year since the killing.
  • The shooting occurred amid broader political violence targeting officials across the ideological spectrum in 2025, including attacks on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence and the New Mexico Republican Party headquarters.
