Aggravated Murder Charges for Suspect
Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination, has been formally charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, multiple counts of obstruction of justice, tampering with a witness, and a class A misdemeanor for a violent offense committed in the presence of a child.

Doors for the memorial will open at 11 a.m. ET, and the service will start at 2 p.m. ET. The event is first-come, first-served based on stadium capacity, which is 63,000 people. Attendees are asked to wear their Sunday best in red, white, or blue and register online for the memorial.
