Suspect in Charlie Kirk Killing Formally Charged With Aggravated Murder
Utah, Sept. 16, 2025 – Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, was shot in the neck during a speaking event at Utah Valley University last week. Authorities say Robinson fired a single rifle shot from a rooftop and was apprehended after a 33-hour manhunt.
Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray confirmed six additional charges, including obstruction of justice and witness tampering. Gray stated he intends to seek the death penalty, calling the decision "not taken lightly."
The killing has sparked national outrage, prompting renewed debates over political violence. A wreath was laid outside the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria in Kirk’s memory.
FBI Director Kash Patel faced intense scrutiny from lawmakers Tuesday during a Senate hearing over his handling of the case, as well as lingering questions surrounding other high-profile investigations.
