A judge in Utah has mandated that the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk stay in jail without bail while new evidence from the crime scene is revealed. The suspect, identified as Tyler Robinson, is currently being held at the Utah County Jail after a state judge issued the order on Friday. According to court documents acquired by CNN, Judge Shawn Rice Howell authorized the detention, noting that Robinson has no prior criminal history, including misdemeanors or felonies.
Robinson faces multiple preliminary charges, such as aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, and obstruction of justice, though formal charges have yet to be filed.
Law enforcement has also confirmed that they found the suspected weapon used in the crime. FBI Special Agent Robert Bohls reported that a high-powered bolt-action rifle was located in a wooded area where the suspect fled following the incident.
The FBI Laboratory will conduct an analysis of the rifle. Additionally, investigators have gathered various pieces of evidence, including shoe prints, a palm print, and forearm imprints.
Earlier today, Governor Spencer Cox of Utah discussed new developments regarding the investigation.
He disclosed that the ammunition found near the rifle contained peculiar engravings. At a press conference, he shared these inscriptions, which later drew commentary from experts who suggested they were influenced by internet culture. Jamie Cohen, a digital culture professor at Queens College, noted that the engravings reference memes, video games, and online humor.
