In a court hearing over whether Tyler Robinson should stand trial for the murder of Charlie Kirk, prosecutors and investigators present forensic and other evidence. Reports described alleged DNA matches found on items connected to the suspected shooting. Fox News and other outlets cite DNA that prosecutors say was found on a towel wrapped around the rifle and on materials associated with the weapon, including a towel used to conceal the suspected murder weapon and a screwdriver reportedly recovered at the sniper’s perch. The New York Post says a forensic report concludes it is “extremely likely” the DNA on the gun and cartridges belonged to Robinson.
The New York Post also reports that an FBI report shown during the hearing links DNA found on the towel to both Robinson and his lover, Lance Twiggs. Fox News adds that prosecutors also present additional material, including autopsy results and surveillance footage, and references an “explosive” interview given by Twiggs. One report says the hearing ends without a ruling, indicating procedural continuation as the case proceeds.
