“The 22-year-old Utahn accused of fatally shooting conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University last week now faces aggravated murder charges — and prosecutors indicate that, if he’s convicted, they will seek his death,” the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
“Prosecutors specifically charged Tyler James Robinson on Tuesday with seven offenses: aggravated murder, a first-degree felony; discharge of a firearm, a first-degree felony; two counts of obstruction of justice, second-degree felonies; two counts of tampering with a witness, third-degree felonies; and a misdemeanor count of violence offense committed in the presence of a child, according to charging documents.”
According to investigators, the Washington Post reports Robinson sent a text message after the shooting to his roommate, saying: “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
