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.

Why? What a stupid statement.
I have never bought this argument. How often do you hear those sentenced to life without parole asking to be executed? Far, far less often than you hear about those sentenced to execution angling to get life without parole.
Yes, yes you are the only one
I sincerely hope a death sentence is carried out - swiftly - and not plea-dealed away.
Kirk deserves nothing less.
why didn’t you go catch him big toughie? Afraid to leave your BF alone?
Don’t bother. We will never be able to communicate with nwrep.
Of course they are.
They thought they had caught the killer. It wasn’t a lie.
If true...
What classes was he taking and what were the professors teaching the students there? One does not just wake up one morning and plan an elaborate assassination.
University professors and/or a girl
He has the same dull, dopey eyes that Mondami has.
Apparently I am wrong. I stand corrected.
If I was the kid's mother, I'd be so angry that the first thing I'd want to know is who he'd been in touch, or hung with that radicalized him, and where and how did he get the weapon. Any word if this a-hole had siblings?
This kid ruined his life for nothing. No one is going to change their political and religious beliefs because you kill someone. They will just look at him as another nut rotting away in prison for life.
Better this than some evil Deep State FBI Director who just lies to your face in front of a camera, for years on end.
Amazing how the DM has his mudsnail’s full story story already. Where have I seen this before?
Yes, two siblings.
I'm sure you're not the only one who thinks that, but it is a very makeable shot for someone with decent shooting experience. With a dad who is a sheriff, I imagine that kid has been shooting for a long time.
all roads lead to Soros. This empty headed kid was just a pawn in the hands of a very dark controlling force.
Excellent assessment. Needs to go vural.
