A judge has ruled that a suspect in the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk should stand trial. The suspect, 23-year-old Tyler Robinson, is accused of firing the fatal shot from a rooftop at Utah Valley University. Kirk was killed during an event for his organization, Turning Point USA, in September 2025.

The decision was made after a five-day preliminary hearing in July, where prosecutors presented evidence. Both the defense and prosecution submitted written arguments and made additional arguments in court before the judge's decision.

Further details about the case and the upcoming trial are available from the source. The suspect may face the death penalty if convicted.
