The suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination has been identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident.
Law enforcement sources told Daily Mail that Robinson was taken into custody as the alleged assassin who killed Kirk at a rally at Utah Valley University in Utah on Wednesday.
The alleged killer confessed to his father Matt, who is a a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff's Department, sources told Daily Mail. His father then contacted authorities and secured his son before he could be taken into custody.
His mother, Amber Robinson, works for Intermountain Support Coordination Services, a company contracted by the state of Utah to help disabled people receive care.
Robinson was a student at Utah State University on a scholarship, insiders confirmed to Daily Mail.
The family's social media profiles show Robinson, who has two younger brothers, often enjoying family vacations and sharing smiling selfies, including some celebrating the alleged killer getting into college.
Robinson was taken into custody around 11pm local time in southern Utah on Thursday night. He lives in a $600,000 six-bedroom home in Washington, Utah - about 260 miles south of Kirk's assassination in Orem.
Officials have yet to confirm a motive to the assassination.
Authorities said at a press conference on Thursday night that Robinson will face the death penalty if convicted.

The family did the right thing by surrendering him.
Trump needs to fire H1B Patel.
Discovering your son is a murderer has to be heart breaking.
Why?
If it were up to me, this guy would be killed, revived, and killed again.
Why should he fire Patel? The FBI had no reason to provide security at a private event for a private citizen. They made an arrest within 36 hours of the event - and probably had a good idea who they were looking for even earlier. Also - your racism is showing calling H1B just because he is of Indian descent. He was born in NY and lived here all of his life.
Pubic skool indoctrination would be my guess.
“””Discovering your son is a murderer has to be heart breaking.””””
Especially when Dad works for the Sheriff and most likely owned the gun that was used.
If doing the right thing was the easy thing, everybody would do it. Thank God for those who, choose the to do the right thing anyway.
Kill him.
Dad also probably taught him how to shoot and gun safety. Dad never figured this would happen but underestimated the left getting a hold of his kid.
Tyler Robinson’s ultimate fate will be determined by Kirk’s widow. If she in the Christian tradition “forgives and prays for him” and given the fact his father persuaded him to surrender, he just might avoid the death penalty.
like to see a pic of both parents to see who is the one who pass all the chinese looking genes to the perp.
“most likely owned the gun that was used”
That makes the dad culpable does it not?
Kill him.
Not before waterboarding him to find out what he knows.
Think he is ripping Patel for not finding him. Google photos can find you from your baby picture 20 years ago when you were laying face down in the crib. IDK but I think the criticism is that the father turned him in and not the resources of the FBI.
Trump has already said he wants the death penalty.
I say “an eye for an eye” and death by firing squad. Every MAGA with a gun to volunteer for that job. Starting with Kyle Rittenhouse.
