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.

Give it a rest. That wasn’t a lie. A mistake as told to him by law enforcement on the ground. His mistake was posting it early in an age where misinformation travels fast. That’s it. Hopefully he learns from his mistake.
You might be. That's not a hard shot.
Plus, he was a gun guy.
there is also the element of luck.
Could have been aiming for head
Could have been aiming for heart
Don’t disagree.
Do not be too hard on Patel here for this.
The organization has a deep history of arresting all sorts of people without reasonable suspicion or probably cause. Sometimes it works, and sometimes not.
The Atlanta Olympics b*mb*ng in 1996 arrest of Richard Jewel (RIP) the security guard comes to mind on arrest first, destroy a life and reputation and then say it wasn’t him. At least here they did not keep their suspects long enough to get to the “destroy a life and reputation” stage.
Patel is doing fine. What is your problem with Patel?
Life without parole gives him time to atone & serve his punishment....
waiting for a death penalty and its appeals likely will take years...
Silly comment. I take it you’ve never been to a gun range.
All kinds of people are learning to shoot.
A friends daughter, 5’2” 90 pounds hits targets at 100 yards with a 308.
Really? A few hours in and he thought they had the killer. So he announced it.
Probably because of whiners like you - "He never tells us anything."
Sit down and shut up.
I don’t know but I would think state would be different then federal but I guess a future Utah governor could pardon. I don’t remember the Carter pardon. We did a tour with our congressman and he pointed out the damage they made in Congress. Also got to see the silver ink well that’s on the desk when congress is in session.
Lots of posters spouting off bulls***.
Not if the gun was locked up and the kid broke in. Given the kid’s age, the gun could have been his
And get beaten and raped every day.
Why? What a stupid statement.
stfu asshole
Lock him in a cell. Give him that drug that paralyses you but keeps you fully conscious on constant drip. Feed/hydrate him just enough to keep him alive. Play The Charlie Kirk Show on endless loop aka Clockwork Orange as his body slowly wastes away and he silently screams for death.
Less than 150 yards. I have no difficulty believing he could pull that off.
Anything under 200 yds with the rifle described is easy. A 12 yr old could do it.
Red
200 yards is not far with a scope.
