Romeo had to kill someone, in order for the sequence of events to happen properly.

What is Romeos motivation for killing Tybalt?

Tybalt has taken advantage of the feud between his auntie's husband's relatives the Capulets (no actual relation to Tybalt), to show off his fighting skills. From Mercutio we hear that he is "the very butcher of a silk button", a trained swordsman and duellist, whose only pleasure is in fighting. Tybalt uses the fact that Romeo crashed the Capulet party as a pretext for challenging him, but it is a flimsy excuse and that is all it is. Tybalt will just as happily fight with Mercutio as with Romeo.
