New Gas-Station Video Traces Suspect’s Route as Prosecutors Pursue Death Penalty in Charlie Kirk Killing

The defense seeks more time to review extensive discovery after new surveillance footage mapped part of the suspect’s route.

Overview

  • Surveillance video from a Cedar City Maverik around 7:15 a.m. on Sept. 11 shows Tyler Robinson fueling his car and not using trash cans, according to police.
  • Robinson was arrested later that day in St. George and faces seven counts including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction, and witness tampering.
  • Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty, and a former federal prosecutor noted that motive evidence could be pivotal to convincing all 12 jurors.
  • Charging materials cite a photographed note and texts about targeting Charlie Kirk, and officials referenced an engraved casing reading “Hey fascist, catch.”
  • Defense counsel requested additional time to examine evidence and reserved the right to seek a preliminary hearing, with the next court date set for Oct. 30.
