A forensic report indicates that DNA found on the weapon and cartridges allegedly used to kill Charlie Kirk is "overwhelmingly likely" to belong to Tyler Robinson, according to prosecutors.
During a preliminary hearing on July 9, 2026, at the 4th District Court in Provo, Utah, Sgt. Jennifer Faumuina presented findings from swabs taken from the firearm and ammunition. The report states that the DNA profiles found on the stock and grip of the weapon are at least 1 trillion times more likely to have originated from Robinson as a contributor, along with three unrelated unknown individuals, than from four unknown unrelated individuals.
The evidence was presented as prosecutors continue to build their case against Robinson, who is accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk. The specific circumstances and timeline of the alleged crime, beyond the presentation of this forensic evidence, were not detailed in the court proceedings described.
