Tyler Robinson is charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, with authorities investigating links to radical left-wing ideology and online Discord activity.
- Tyler Robinson was charged with the aggravated murder of Charlie Kirk after allegedly shooting him at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2024.
