Resolution criteria

• This market concerns Tyler James Robinson (born 2003), the Utah County defendant charged with the September 10, 2025 killing of Charlie Kirk. (reuters.com)

• Resolves YES if, before market close, a U.S. authority (e.g., Utah Department of Corrections, another state DOC, or the Federal Bureau of Prisons) or two reputable outlets (e.g., AP, Reuters) report that Robinson was executed pursuant to a court‑issued death warrant (methods may include lethal injection or firing squad). Primary check: Utah DOC press releases; Utah death‑warrant/Execution procedures under Utah Code §77‑19. (corrections.utah.gov)

• Resolves NO if he dies by any other cause (e.g., suicide, homicide in custody, medical causes, police use of force) or is not executed before market close (including commutation, reversal, or ongoing appeals). Common verification sources include Utah DOC releases and wire services (AP/Reuters). (corrections.utah.gov)

Background

• Prosecutors announced they will seek the death penalty against Robinson for aggravated murder; he was ordered held without bail, with proceedings underway. (reuters.com)

• Utah permits capital punishment; lethal injection is primary, with firing squad available if drugs are unavailable. Executions are rare in Utah (first since 2010 occurred in 2024). (en.wikipedia.org)

Considerations

• Capital cases typically take years; Utah executions often face late stays (e.g., Ralph Menzies’ 2025 warrant was vacated days before the date). Expect extensive appeals and competency reviews. (apnews.com)

• A Utah death sentence requires a unanimous jury; if no unanimous death verdict, the sentence is life—affecting the likelihood of an eventual execution. General context on Utah capital process and rarity: see Reuters explainer and Utah DOC. (reuters.com)
