Family members of the young Utah man accused of shooting Charlie Kirk told authorities he had recently become “more political” and saw the ally of US President Donald Trump as a person spreading hate, according to charging documents.
Tyler James Robinson, 22, of Washington, Utah, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm, and obstruction of justice, all felonies, according to an affidavit filed in court and released Friday. A judge ordered that he be held without bail.
