A newly unsealed court filing has injected fresh momentum into the high-profile murder case of Charlie Kirk, offering critical forensic details that prosecutors say directly tie the accused gunman to the killing.

That classification, outlined in federal forensic analysis, aligns with the type of ammunition used in the rifle allegedly wielded by 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson.
The development centers on a key piece of physical evidence that had previously been the subject of dispute.
