Tyler Robinson is set to stand trial for the September 10, 2025, assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. A Utah judge ruled there is sufficient evidence for charges including aggravated murder, making Robinson eligible for the death penalty. Prosecutors allege Robinson used a high-powered rifle from a rooftop to target Kirk in front of a crowd of 3,000 people.
