The man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk was being held Friday at the Utah County jail. Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm, and obstruction of justice charges, according to a court affidavit . A judge ordered that he be held without bail. Formal charges are expected early next week.

Robinson had become “more political” recently and had indicated to a family friend afterwards that he was responsible , said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox. The governor also cited as key pieces of evidence engravings on bullets found in a rifle believed to have been used in the attack, as well as chatting app messages that a roommate shared with law enforcement after the shooting.
