Utah prosecutors said on Tuesday (September 16, 2025) they will seek the death penalty for Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Court filings revealed alleged text messages in which Robinson admitted to the crime, saying he had "enough of [Kirk’s] hatred." Prosecutors charged him with seven counts, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.
Prosecutors also cited DNA evidence on the suspected murder weapon, video showing Robinson entering Utah Valley University’s campus with a concealed rifle, and a written note outlining his intent.
The killing, captured on video, has sparked bipartisan condemnation of political violence, while also intensifying partisan blame. U.S. President Donald Trump and other politicians have publicly called for the death penalty in the case.
Kirk, 31, co-founder of Turning Point USA and a key Trump ally, was shot during a campus event attended by 3,000 people.
