Suspect in Charlie Kirk shooting likely to face charges Tuesday before first court hearing
- Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University and will appear in court Tuesday over Webex.
- Robinson's arrest followed a manhunt, and prosecutors are gathering evidence to formally charge him, with charging documents expected Tuesday.
- Utah law allows seeking the death penalty if murder involves cruelty or endangers many, and Kirk’s killing in front of 3,000 witnesses may qualify as aggravating.
- Governor Spencer Cox and President Trump have expressed their support for capital punishment in this case, with Cox indicating that efforts are underway to seek the death penalty, while Robinson remains detained without bail.
- The case’s progression and evidence may influence public and jury perception amid political tensions, with challenges expected in securing an impartial jury for Robinson’s trial.
