Charlie Kirk 'killer' identified as Tyler Robinson after assassination in Utah (more info)
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 12, 2025 | Shawn Cohen

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.

*Reminds me of the Unabomber’s brother. Once the manifesto was published, he was sure it was his brother and contacted law enforcement.*

You mean the una-brother?

"Tyler Robinson’s ultimate fate will be determined by Kirk’s widow. If she in the Christian tradition “forgives and prays for him” and given the fact his father persuaded him to surrender, he just might avoid the death penalty."

Let's hope not. Enough of this touchy-feely horse manure. Did he give a $hit about Charlie's family? He murdered a man in cold blood. Frick forgiveness. That only condones what he did.

Trump needs to fire H1B Patel.

Why? I mean, aside from your personal prejudices.

“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.”


His mother has now deleted them, but her facebook feed had pictures of one of the sons (not Tyler) with firearms and at the range shooting. Someone downloaded the pics before they were deleted. I’m sure all the boys had shooting experience given they are in a law enforcement family.

RE: Patel....

He can always sit in his office and wait for a call that a family member turned in the next culprit. /S

He has an unfortunate deer in the headlights look to his eyes. He also looks from side to side as Richard Nixon used to do.

He grew up in Utah. Probably hunted mule deer and antelope most of his life. 200 yards is not much for an antelope shot.

The ‘Rat Party/Media/Academia complex radicalized him. The ‘Rats new motto:

“I am the Devil and I am here to do the Devil’s work”,

I’ve said that elsewhere today.

Rush Limbaugh said the Unabomber would have continued to get away with it if the brother had not turned him in.

Chilling that “justice” hangs by such a thread.

This guy doesn't appear to be mentally disturbed like many other of these shooter. Rather, he was very deliberate in wanting to kill Charlie for his political activism.

In this picture, you can see that it didn't turn out like he thought it would. Sure, he might be a hero to a tiny group of idiots, but his life is effectively over and he his reviled by a majority of the country. Meanwhile, the praise for Kirk will only grow.

People are asking where Tyler got his ideology that motivated him.

Answer: He went to college.

Too many empty-headed, and easily influenced dumbasses walking around in the world today. They’re everywhere. The dumbing-down of American school children helped create this atmosphere.

What’s the background of Robinson that gave him the ability to make that shot at that distance?

Usha Vance, Vice President Vance’s wife, who happens to be of Indian descent was quite literally holding Erika Kirk up while guiding her down the steps of Air Force 2 to return the body of Charlie Kirk to Arizona with military honors.

Kash Patel and Charlie Kirk were great friends.

What say you about Charlie Kirk’s killer nwrep. H1B?
