The suspect accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk is expected to make his first court appearance on Tuesday in Utah, where he will be formally charged with murder by state prosecutors.
Tyler Robinson , 22, is accused of firing a single bullet that lanced Kirk’s neck during a public appearance on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. The killing of Kirk, an influential ally of President Donald Trump and co-founder of Turning Point USA, shocked and forced the nation to confront what appears to be an increase in political violence across the country .
