- Authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with the murder of Charlie Kirk, with Utah Governor Spencer Cox identifying the man as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
- Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray is set to formally charge Robinson, a resident of southern Utah, on Tuesday.
- An earlier affidavit said Robinson had been arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm, and obstruction of justice.
- A neighbour described Robinson as having a “mellow personality”; “the kid was smart, quiet. He never caused problems.”
- Kirk was speaking at a debate at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when authorities say a shooter fired a single round from a rooftop, fatally striking the conservative activist in the neck in an apparent targeted assassination.
