Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, turned himself in after being identified from images and evidence. He was charged with aggravated murder and other crimes. In September 2026, just weeks before the first anniversary of Kirk’s assassination, a judge ruled that Robinson would be tried and could face the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder. Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, has called for the trial to be shown on live television and has objected to a defense suggestion of a 2029 trial date.
