If there is a delay announcing Robinson's formal charges, the announcement would slide to Friday as the attorney's office can extend the deadline up to three business days.
The remote hearing will be livestreamed. The likely brief hearing is intended to inform Robinson of the charges against him and provide him with an attorney if he has not already retained one, Gray shared in a statement to Fox News.
Robinson "was arrested and booked into the Utah County Jail early Friday morning on suspicion of committing three crimes related to the murder" of Kirk, Gray said. Those crimes include aggravated murder, obstruction of justice and a felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury.
Gray has indicated Robinson's formal charges will likely be consistent with his preliminary charges. Robinson is being held without bail.

"Our ability to file charges depends on how quickly we can gather and carefully review mountains of evidence. We will be thorough and deliberate at every stage of this case," he said.
"My office’s mission is to protect our community by vigorously investigating and prosecuting crime, compassionately assisting crime victims, and seeking justice for all. We will spare no effort to achieve those ends in this, and every case," Gray added.
Attorney General Derek Brown told Fox News Digital on Friday that Robinson could face a combination of state and federal charges.
President Donald Trump and Gov. Spencer Cox, R-Utah, have both called for the death penalty against Robinson, which is a possibility under Utah state law.

As campus reopened for UVU students seeking mental health resources and employees returning to work, memorials filled the grass outside campus.
