Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer has officially been charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice in connection with the shooting.

Tyler Robinson was seen making his first appearance in court on Tuesday afternoon, as shared by local media outlets. He’s currently being held without bail in Provo, Utah, Jail, and is expected to face the death penalty.

At an afternoon press conference sharing more details on the charges, the Utah County Attorney mentioned how the entire murder tragedy is a tragic event for the entire nation.

He continued to mention that Kirk was murdered while engaging in one of the most sacred and cherished American rights, the bedrock of our democratic republic, the free exchange of ideas, and a search for truth, understanding, and the perfect union. He also mentioned how it’s a major offense against the state and to the peace and enjoyment of the people of Utah, as well as all those who visit there.

 

The shooter was seen speaking about how his only motive was to get rid of Kirk because he was filled with too much evil. But the state governor also hinted at how it might also have to do with the fact that Kirk was not an advocate for the gay or trans community, and since Robinson’s partner was in the process of transitioning, he took that as a serious issue with the MAGA activist.
