The suspect in Charlie Kirk's murder has been identified as 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson.
He was taken into custody after a high-profile manhunt following the fatal shooting of the 31-year-old conservative influencer at a rally at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
Utah governor Spencer Cox had previously vowed to subject the person responsible for the fatal shooting to the death penalty when finally apprehended by law enforcement.
While the primary method of execution in America is lethal injection, there are five states that still use the firing squad as a legal method of capital punishment.
Utah is one of these states, as well as Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Carolina.
