Tyler Robinson, 22, made his first court appearance virtually on September 16 after being arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10.

He appeared via video in a Utah County courtroom, showing little emotion as Fourth District Court Judge Tony Graf Jr. read the charges against him.

Robinson only spoke to confirm his name and appeared to nod when told he would remain in jail without bail. He has not yet been assigned legal representation.

Prosecutors from the Utah County Attorney’s Office announced that Robinson is charged with aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and other related offenses.

They also confirmed plans to seek the death penalty in the case. Judge Graf issued a protective order for Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, prohibiting Robinson from contacting her.

Violating the order could result in additional charges.
