Utah prosecutors formally brought murder charges in the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk, a case that’s galvanized President Donald Trump and his allies over what they see as rampant political violence against conservatives.
In a charging document released Tuesday, prosecutors charged Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect taken into custody in Utah last week, with first-degree aggravated murder. Robinson is scheduled to make his first appearance in court this afternoon.
In a press conference announcing the charges, Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said he intends to pursue the death penalty.
“I do not take this decision lightly,” Gray said. “It is a decision I have made as county attorney based solely on the available evidence and circumstances.”
