SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The 23-year-old man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University will be in court this week for the most substantial hearing so far in his murder case. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.

Prosecutors will lay out their evidence against Tyler Robinson in a five-day preliminary hearing. When it is over, the judge will decide whether the case will proceed to trial, with the death penalty as a possible punishment if he is convicted.

Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, and his parents are expected to be in the Utah courtroom, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The hearing will be livestreamed.

Kirk, the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was a top podcaster and ally of President Donald Trump. He led an effort to remake the Republican Party's get-out-the-vote effort in the 2024 election.

Here are moments leading up to Kirk's event, his death and the charges filed against Robinson. All times are local.

Ahead of Kirk's visit to Utah Valley University, a change.org petition is started titled "Prevent Charlie Kirk from speaking at Utah Valley University."

Sept. 3: Utah Valley University releases a statement affirming its "commitment to free speech, intellectual inquiry, and constructive dialogue."

Approximately 11:51 a.m.: School surveillance cameras capture the suspected shooter walking onto campus, according to charging documents.

Noon: Kirk kicks off his event in the Fountain Courtyard of the university's Orem Campus.

Approximately 12:20 p.m.: Kirk is taking questions from an audience member about gun violence when a shot rings out. Authorities say the shot came from a distant roof.

12:23 p.m.: A Utah Valley University police officer states, "Alpha 34, we have shots fired. Charlie Kirk is down," according to a broadcast recording from the department's dispatch line made available by OpenMHz. Shortly afterward a different officer notes that there has been gunfire, and Kirk is "on his way to the ambulance. He's on his way to the hospital."
