Charlie Kirk | Tyler Robinson identified as murder suspect: Nick Harper reports
A young Utah man suspected of killing the conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a university forum has been taken into custody, Governor Spencer Cox said on Friday, ending a two-day manhunt that helped fuel national concern over a rising tide of political violence in the US.
“We got him,” Cox told reporters at a briefing.
The suspect, identified as Tyler Robinson, had confessed to a family friend – or “implied that he had committed” the murder to that friend – and that person in turn contacted the Washington County sheriff’s office on Thursday.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump told Fox News in an interview that the suspect is in custody.
