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.

How could a LE parent not know that his son is radicalized?
There is a younger brother close in age. Don’t know of others.
Exactly. So why didn’t the fascial recognition pick him out since he was a student there.
With a good scope it is not difficult.
Agreed,
Killer went to school at Utah State. Murder was at Utah Valley University
An eye for an eye.
She probably will not ask for DP.
BTTT
Some of my family are of mostly Polish and Slovak heritage. In some photos, they look part East Asian. Reminds me that there were Asian invasions into Europe many years ago.
I've shot a 6" grouping with an AK at 100 yards and open sights from a bench (old Norinco solid steel machined receiver).
He had a blt action with a scope, probably firing from a prone position with the rifle braced on something. He was probably aiming for the center of the head and still hit 6" low, striking the neck.
6" to the side and Kirk would probably still be alive.
No, it's not that difficult with a modicum of training and a decent rifle.
In 1305, the Scottish rebel William Wallace (made famous by the movie 'Braveheart') was captured and killed by Edward 1 of England (Longshanks().
After his capture, Wallace, a Scottish knight and leader in the First War of Scottish Independence, was tried for treason in London. On August 23, 1305, he was executed by being hanged, drawn, and quartered. His body was then dismembered, and his head was displayed on London Bridge, while his limbs were sent to four locations—Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling, and Perth—to serve as a warning to others.
We need public execution on this one.
God point from Bannon a few minutes ago...why aren’t the authorities kicking doors down and hauling away AntiFa adherents???
AntiFa, apparently.
He should be put to death by the end of next week. Justice delayed, is Justice denied. The very reason crime is rampant, and the gangs are not deterred, is the system is a joke.
The only complication of this shot was the fairly steep downward angle. That affects the point of impact versus what sights set up for “flat” terrain produce for the same “sight picture”. Those brought up hunting in Utah would likely know how to guestimate for this. Since the killer knew the height and distance in advance, perhaps he even did the math.
Could have been the first time he was told no and he couldn’t deal.
President trump, please declare ANTIFA, LGTBQ+, And BLM terrorist organizations.
More than Karmelo’s half million.
