The attorney prosecuting Tyler Robinson in the case concerning Charlie Kirk's killing tells TMZ the bullet matching test results were inconclusive ... but that doesn't remove Tyler from suspicion.

Attorney Christopher Ballard tells us, "Generally when a bullet fragment analysis comes back as inconclusive, that means the fragment did not contain enough detail for the examiner to say one way or the other. There's just not enough there to determine whether the bullet was fired by a particular firearm. We have ample evidence to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that Tyler Robinson committed this murder and we will present some of that evidence at the upcoming preliminary hearing -- and then we will present all of that evidence at the trial."

As we reported ... Tyler's defense team argued there’s a discrepancy between the ballistic evidence and the weapon prosecutors say is connected to Robinson.
