Man arrested in Charlie Kirk's killing had no known criminal history, had become 'more political'

  • By MICHAEL BIESECKER and JIM MUSTIAN Associated Press

Family members of the young Utah man accused of shooting Charlie Kirk told authorities he had recently become more political and believed Kirk was spreading hate. That's according to a probable cause statement released Friday. A judge ordered Tyler James Robinson held without bail. Utah state records show the 22-year-old is registered to vote but not affiliated with a political party. His address is listed as his parents' home in a suburb outside of St. George in southern Utah. Social media posts made by his mother through 2022 show an active family that spent time outdoors. It wasn't immediately clear whether Robinson had a defense lawyer who could comment on his behalf.
