Overview

• Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray filed aggravated murder and related counts, including obstruction, witness tampering and committing a violent act in the presence of children, and said he will pursue capital punishment.
• Prosecutors and the FBI cite DNA on the rifle’s trigger, a towel wrapped around the weapon and a screwdriver from the rooftop, along with surveillance footage and recovered writings that referenced plans to kill Kirk.
• Court documents describe a text and a note to Robinson’s partner about taking the opportunity to kill Kirk, and separate reports detail a Discord message in which he allegedly told friends he was responsible before surrendering.
• Robinson was taken into custody after his father recognized police images and urged him to turn himself in; officials say he has not cooperated with investigators, while his family and partner have.
• The FBI is reviewing Robinson’s digital footprint and a gaming chatroom to assess whether others had prior knowledge, and prosecutors say a definitive motive has not been established.
