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.

“”That makes the dad culpable does it not?”””
Since the shooter is 22, I doubt it. My adult boys know how to get to the the booms booms that I lost in a tragic boating accident.
Dumb bass
So he is 22, no drivers license or id that they could match?
Weird
Am I the only one who is having a difficult time believing that guy could effectively pull off a kill shot from 200 yards?
That will have relevance, but the prosecutor represents the government, not the victim’s survivors. Sounds like Mr. Robinson will be facing capital charges at both the state and federal levels.
You never know what is going to pop up. There is a recent story of a dog:
One couple adopted a stray dog they named Walter because he looked like a Golden Retriever. His DNA test revealed he had 0% Golden Retriever DNA and was a mix of Australian Cattle Dog, Poodle, German Shepherd, and other breeds.
Too early to know if father used persuasion or some other method. The son might have just obeyed his father’s order to sit down and go nowhere based on how he was raised given the circumstances.
The son being out in public made him a walking target to be killed on sight.
He should have had a college ID
Not that hard with a 30-06 with a scope
Personally, I think in a case like this, the death penalty is to easy. Life without parole gives him time to atone & serve his punishment.
He lied he had caught the killer. Patel is incompetent.
I read where the Chinese are creating profiles on our kids based on their social media usage. They know these are our future leaders.
Yes Patel is that. And incompetent.
The problem with anything other than the death penalty is that some future president might pardon the guy.
(Remember Jimmy Carter pardoning the Puerto Rican nationalists who took pot shots inside Congress?...After Carter pardoned them they returned to Puerto Rico to a standing ovation at the airport.)

You might be right about public school indoctrination.
The suspect had a scholarship and what appears to be a good family, then just threw his life away for no good reason.
One weird angle is Stephen Crowder published information about tranny engravings on the cartridges found in the rifle magazine. I think he was right because of this:

Iron sights would be a challenge but I’ve shot deer with a scoped 30-06 and I have no formal training outside of practicing before season open.
No. There's much more to this story, I wager.
Stating that you have a suspect in custody never means you have the right suspect especially early on.
