He confessed to his father, revealing how Kirk annoyed him with his hate speeches. His father then handed him over to the police
The man accused of ass,assinating conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was identified Friday as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, after being turned in by his own father.
President Donald Trump was the first to reveal this during an appearance on Fox & Friends, saying he learned about the arrest just moments before his interview.
“Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” Trump explained.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him.” He added that the person who contacted authorities was Robinson’s father, a longtime law enforcement officer, who reportedly acted after his son confessed.
Trump called Kirk “the finest person” and said he hoped the suspect “gets the death penalty.”
Hours later, Utah Governor Spencer Cox confirmed the arrest.
“We got him,” Cox declared at a Friday morning press conference, noting that Robinson was taken into custody around 10 p.m. Thursday, roughly 33 hours after the shooting at Utah Valley University.
Investigators say Robinson had grown increasingly political in recent months and expressed open h,atred toward Kirk.
In chilling details, bullet casings recovered from the scene carried messages including “Hey fascist! Catch!” and “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.”
One casing was also marked with “Bella Ciao,” an Italian anti-fascist song from World War II.
Police believe Robinson carefully planned the at,tack. Discord messages with his roommate reportedly revealed arrangements to stash the rifle in a towel near the rooftop sniper’s nest.
The weapon was recovered soon after the sh00ting.
Family photos once shared online by Robinson’s mother painted a different image of her son, celebrating his acceptance into college and calling him a “genius.”
The family lives in a six-bedroom home in Washington, Utah, more than 250 miles from the Orem campus where the attack took place.
Kirk, 31, was shot once while speaking at an outdoor event at the university’s Losee Center.
He collapsed immediately after answering a question about mass sh00tings carried out by transgender individuals.
The Turning Point USA co-founder, who leaves behind a wife and two young children, d,ied at the scene.
