Charlie Kirk 'killer' identified as Tyler Robinson after assassination in Utah (more info)
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 12, 2025 | Shawn Cohen

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.

It wasn’t 200 yards. It’s 145 at the max. Go to Google Maps, sat image, use the distance measurement tool. I dont know where 200 is coming from but the distance is really 145.

I’m sure he was aiming for either the head or the chest. Head shot is stupid but is in all the movies - bullet could have dropped more than he thought. Chest shot and he jerked it up when he pulled the trigger.

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.

STOP!! STOP!! You'll confuse him with the facts.

Yeah, I’m not necessarily singing the system’s praises, just stating the facts of how it works (or doesn’t work).

Read what the Democrat party cultist said about why he murdered Kirk

Democrats are directly culpable for the murder of Kirk. This isn’t “just politics”. Their vile lying slanderous hate filled rhetoric directed at everyone who has a different opinion then their cult has now lead to murder. They are guilty and must be held accountable by the people of the US for their inexcusable behavior.

Not if he’s in solitary.

Only if he develops a taste for being beaten and raped.

A $600,000 HOME NEAR ST GEORGE, UTAH, IS OVER $2 MILLION ANYWHERE ELSE.

Well now, being 22, he’s got a nice 50-60 year stretch in prison. He almost got away and wanted to commit suicide. It’s a bit satisfying to know he’s in a kind of hell now. They’ll never let him out.

The only way he could atone for his dark deed is to bring Charlie back to life.

Yep! Just put a beard on him with a fake smile and you have a Mondami twin (but likely with a fake ID in his wallet that says “McLovin”).

Hate to break it to you and Charlie would agree, there’s no one above God’s forgiveness if its genuine. Its the paradox of the cross where Mother Teresa could be in hell & Hitler in heaven.

“Especially when Dad works for the Sheriff and most likely owned the gun that was used.”

The father didn’t work for the sheriffs department. He owned a construction company. Unless that was his previous job. Story I saw was the family lived in a $600,000 home about 250 miles away from where the little POS murdered Charlie Kirk.

The POS is going to receive the Gary Gilmore.

Easy Sparky. Maybe they’ll let you throw the switch. Go kick a puppy, it’ll make you feel better.

“””The father didn’t work for the sheriffs department.”””

And the latest story I saw said he was a veteran officer who ran the construction business. So perhaps retired LEO.

I watched Joe Rogan interviewing Charlie Sheen, at the moment they learned of the shooting, both were just stunned at it, and expressed their horror over it.

I would imagine if it happened ten years ago, both of them might have cheered it, or been indifferent. But both of them certainly have changed over the past few years, especially Sheen. He came back from a real dark place. And I believe guys like Charlie Kirk, had a lot to do with that.

I also wonder how Bill Maher will react, considering he also interviewed Charlie Kirk a few months back.

That sounds reasonable. Guess it depends on who is reporting the story.
