Utah authorities on Tuesday announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.
Tyler Robinson, 22, was taken into custody last Friday for assassinating TPUSA founder and conservative political activist Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University.
Robinson will be held without bail.
“I am filing a notice of intent to seek the death penalty. I do not take this decision lightly, and it is a decision I have made… based solely on the available evidence and circumstances and nature of the crime,” Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray said during a press conference.
Robinson was charged with:
– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening revealed that Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson wrote in a text that if he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, he would do it, saying, “some hatred cannot be negotiated with.”
Patel disclosed the text messages while appearing on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show.
“A text message exchange where he, the suspect, specifically stated that he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and he was going to do that, and when he was asked why, he said, ‘Some hatred cannot be negotiated with,’” Kash Patel said.
Tyler Robinson confessed in a Discord group chat with his friends two hours before he was taken into custody: “It was me at UVU yesterday.”
