Donald Trump has revealed that the person who allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University is now in custody.
'I think with a high degree of certainty we have him in custody,' the president told Fox & Friends on Friday morning.
Sources told the Daily Mail that the suspect is Tyler Robinson, a 21-year-old man from Washington, Utah.
The shooter confessed to his father that he was the perpetrator, CNN reported.
The man's father then tipped off law enforcement and secured his son until officers arrived. Sources told CNN the individual was still being questioned as of Friday morning.
Trump said that 'somebody who was very close' to the suspect turned him in to police - referring to the tipster as the assassin's 'minister' and 'father'.
'It was a minister who was involved with law enforcement… his good friend is a top U.S. Marshal – and they took it from there,' Trump said, suggesting the suspect's father told him it was time to turn themselves in.
Law enforcement will share more details about the suspect's arrest later on Friday, the president said.

Better get his middle name, because there are boocoo Tyler Robinsons in Utah.
Is he a tranny?.................
Even Beaucoup
Either way Dad decided $100k was worth it.
He had better have an impressive and verifiable history as a marksman with a rifle at long distances. No crackpot could have made that shot. Otherwise, we have a patsy on our hands to quell the rabble.
All over FB , search name and town
If he comes from a family where he confides in his father and has a minister don’t hold your breath that he is some crazed radical - probably not. And it’s too early to conclude what written on the bullets found in the gun means that the shooting is some sort of trans revenge.
Oddly looks like a typical LDS kid. Fit, trim, etc
The authorities would have come knocking on their door anyway in a couple of days.................
“””He had better have an impressive and verifiable history as a marksman with a rifle at long distances. “
It wasn’t a tough shot. You would need some experience but not much.
It’s 188 meters. That’s a center mass hold. Easy shot.
If it is him..i REALLY hope we can figure out how to get him executed within two years.
The pastor was his dad. IF the kid confessing is really the assassin and not just looking for attention. I do not think the facial features match.
Gary Gilmore treatment
Not what we are hearing. People are saying g a weapon with a good scope could do it.
Supposedly he attached a note to the weapon they found and it had some tranny nonsense in it.............
If that reward money is paid to the dad it needs to be withheld until after the trial......it would be absolutely obscene for those funds to go to his legal defense.
They’re saying the dad is LE and good friends with the Chief Marshall. Told the kid better to tuen himself in. And truthfully, if he wants to stay alive that’s good counsel.
