The suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination has been identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident.

Law enforcement sources told the Daily Mail that Robinson was taken into custody as the alleged assassin who killed Kirk at a rally at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The alleged killer confessed to his father Matt, who owns a construction company, sources told the Daily Mail. He reportedly told his father that he would rather kill himself than turn himself in, but was convinced to speak with a local youth minister who also worked with the US Marshals Service. His mother, Amber Robinson, works for Intermountain Support Coordination Services, a company contracted by the state of Utah to help disabled people receive care. Both of his parents are registered Republicans, online records showed.

Robinson was a student at Utah State University on a scholarship but attended for only one semester in 2021, insiders confirmed to the Daily Mail. He is currently a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College in St. George.

The family’s social media profiles show Robinson, who has two younger brothers, often enjoying family vacations and sharing smiling selfies, including one of his mother celebrating her ‘genius’ son getting into college.
