Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Tyler Robinson, the alleged shooter of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, will appear in a Utah district court Monday.
Robinson, 22, who allegedly shot and killed Kirk at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, has been charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child. He is set to appear at noon EDT Monday and may enter a plea.
He faces the death penalty if convicted. He has been in custody of the Utah County Jail in Spanish Fork, Utah, since his arrest on Sept. 12.
The hearing Monday is a waiver hearing. A judge will ask if the defendant wants a preliminary hearing, where prosecutors will show some of their evidence to determine if there is enough for trial.
