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.

2 younger brothers if memo serves me right. Not a only child for sure
Thanks for the information on his dad.
It was a group effort. The feds found the weapon, identified him on camera and released the pictures to public. The minister recognized him and went to the father. The father located him in Zion NP and the minister walked with him into the police station there. You do understand the guy was in custody for many long hours before Trump made the announcement first thing this morning. The governor mentioned 33 hours, that’s not long.
I believe he debated Kirk and lost.
There are photos of a man that looked like him talking to Kirk posted earlier
His social media (discord etc) would be interesting to read. Who radicalized him? The media? Democrats? Antifa? His university professors? Social Media?
The pics I posted upthread showed a young normal guy apparently in his first college dorm room at about age 19. Three years later, he is a cold-blooded killer. What happened in those 3 years?
A long time ago, in the army, we qualified on the M14, and our ranges were in the 100 and 200 yard range; however, we had hit the target at 600 yards. no scopes.
LEO family with a hunting background, and looks like a lot of photos of playing around with guns at the range too. Pretty plausible given the distance not being too crazy, for someone with background and familiarity with firearms.
This kid’s go-fund-me account will raise millions.
The gun had a scope.
DEMONS. The only answer that makes sense.
Either way, it is one nut off the streets. Too many times the DP is life with them sitting there for 30 and more years. However, the DP was struck down back in the 70s and the first thing some did was murdering again. Hopefully, we’ve learned from that lesson.
Thanks.
RAV Steve Bannon is asking a lot of great questions about the news conference on the War Room broadcast this morning.
Not if he’s in solitary.
I think we see Director Patel differently.
Army trains most everyone to plausibly make such a shot without a scope in 2-3 weeks.
“you must hit at least 23 out of 40 pop-up targets at ranges varying from 5 meters to 300 meters (approximately 80 to 327 yards)”
With scope, much, much easier.
Classic “Enemy within”.
Timothy McVeigh asked to be executed early.
Just ignore low IQ people who can’t compete with low IQ H1-B visa workers.
