Overview

• Prosecutors filed aggravated murder and related counts in Provo as Tyler Robinson appeared by video from a special‑watch unit in Spanish Fork and was ordered held without bail.
• Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray said he will pursue capital punishment in the case.
• Forensic findings include DNA consistent with Robinson on the recovered rifle and items near the scene, along with surveillance video indicating a rooftop firing position and descent.
• Court filings detail a note hidden under a keyboard and messages to Robinson’s partner in which he admitted the killing, cited having “had enough of his hate,” described about a week of planning, and urged deletion of texts, leading to a witness‑tampering charge.
• The FBI is identifying participants in a Discord group where an alleged confession was posted, and investigators say Robinson’s partner is cooperating with authorities.
