Prosecutors are preparing to file a capital murder charge today against suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson that could see him executed by firing squad.
Charges against Robinson, 22, are expected to come ahead of the first court hearing since he was accused last week of shooting Kirk, sources close to prosecutors told the Associated Press.
Kirk, 31, was a conservative activist credited with energizing the Republican youth movement and helping President Donald Trump win back the White House in 2024.
Authorities say Robinson held a 'leftist ideology' and may have been 'radicalized' online before he was arrested for killing the MAGA influencer.
Prosecutors in Utah County are considering several charges against Robinson, the most serious being aggravated murder because it could bring the death penalty if there is a conviction.
