Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk.

What we found

Supports. A Utah judge ruled there was sufficient evidence for Robinson to stand trial for the murder of Charlie Kirk, finding probable cause after a weeklong hearing.[3][4]

Supports. Utah County prosecutors say DNA on the trigger of the rifle that killed Kirk matched Robinson, and that he sent text messages confessing to the attack.[5][6]

Supports. Prosecutors allege Robinson shot Kirk from the roof of a campus building at Utah Valley University, and the defense's filings focus on sentencing rather than contesting who fired the shot.[1][7][8]

Context. Robinson, 23, has pleaded not guilty and has not been convicted; the allegations are unadjudicated and some commentators have questioned the official narrative.[2][9][10]
