Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect Tyler Robinson’s Mugshots Released
Charlie Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson’s mugshots have been released, a few hours after both President Trump and Utah Governor confirmed suspect’s arrest on Friday.
Police confirmed that they arrested Charlie Kirk assassination suspect identified by sources as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident on Friday.
Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was
sitting under a tent around 12:20 p.m. Wednesday, debating with students on
hot-button current affairs issues, when a single shot rang out. Video from the
scene shows him struck in the neck before he slumped out of his chair.
He had been invited to speak at Utah Valley
University by the campus chapter of Turning Point USA, a national conservative
student group he founded.
"I think with a high-degree of
certainty, we have him," President Donald Trump revealed
on "FOX & Friends" Friday morning. He added that,
"essentially, someone who knew him turned him in."
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Friday that
authorities have captured the suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
“We got him,” Cox said. "On
the evening of September 11, a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a
family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office with
information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had
committed the incident.”
“Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years,” Cox continued.
“The family member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson
came to dinner prior to September 10, and in that conversation with another
family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked
about why they didn't like him and the viewpoints that he had.” Kirk was
shot and killed on Wednesday, Sept. 10, at Utah Valley University.
