A capital murder charge against suspected Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson might be filed Tuesday in a move by prosecutors that could see him executed by firing squad if found guilty.
AP reports charges against the 22-year-old are expected to come ahead of the first court hearing since he was accused last week of shooting Kirk the conservative free speech advocate as he addressed a public event at Utah Valley University.
The outlet notes, “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.

“Once charges are filed, Robinson is scheduled to appear on camera for a virtual court hearing. He has been held without bail since his arrest, and it remained unclear whether he has an attorney.”
FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday DNA evidence has linked Robinson to a towel wrapped around a rifle found near the Utah Valley campus and a screwdriver recovered from the rooftop where the fatal shot was fired, as Breitbart News reported.
Investigators are claimed to be “working on finding a motive for the attack,” Utah’s governor said Sunday, adding more information may be made public once Robinson appears for his initial court hearing.
