LIVE: Tyler Robinson Pretrial Hearing in Charlie Kirk Assassination Case

The courtroom is set for a major pretrial hearing in the case of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of assassinating conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The hearing, scheduled for 3 PM, will determine how Robinson appears in court — in person or virtually — and could shape the path toward a full trial.

Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during a Turning Point USA “American Comeback Tour” event at Utah Valley University in September 2025. The shooting occurred just after noon, reportedly from a rooftop roughly 200 yards away from where Kirk was speaking. Prosecutors say Robinson fired multiple rounds from a rifle, striking Kirk before fleeing the scene.

Investigators later found the weapon wrapped in a towel nearby, along with text messages and digital evidence allegedly tying Robinson to the attack. According to police reports, Robinson told a roommate he was “fed up” with what he described as Kirk’s “hate,” a statement that prosecutors claim points to motive.

Robinson faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering. Prosecutors have stated they intend to seek the death penalty if the case goes to trial. His defense has requested additional time to review what they called “voluminous” evidence and to challenge the state’s claim of premeditation.

This case has sparked national debate over political violence, free speech, and public safety at campus events. The pretrial hearing today could reveal key insights into how both sides plan to argue one of the most closely watched cases in recent years.
