President Donald Trump delivered a stark update on the manhunt gripping the nation, confirming Friday that authorities have a suspect in custody for the brazen assassination of conservative Christian firebrand Charlie Kirk.
Speaking live from Fox News’ Manhattan headquarters, Trump said, “I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him.”
The NY Post is reporting the suspect has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, a Utah local.
“Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” the president said, then revealing it was the suspect’s dad who relayed it through “a minister who was involved with law enforcement.”
Here’s a post about Robinson, including a video:

In this image from 2021, Robinson can be seen with the same type of shoes reportedly worn during the assassination. He is also wearing a face mask outside.
This story is breaking and will be updated when more is known.
Patsy. that was a professional hit.
there is nothing that could convince me otherwise. Charlie was to affective and the powers that be can’t have that.
It does NOT take a professional to make such a shot at 600’…
A professional could make that shot at 10x that distance…
How did Kirk’s ‘security’ ever allow someone on a roof that close? Why aren’t these ‘security’ people ever worth a sh..?
It’s time to treat woke Nazis the way we treated nation socialist Nazis at the end of WW2.
Sneak them out of Germany, give them government jobs and new identities???
He’s gay for sure
A short trial then -Light him up
I am not convinced he acted on his own and without any deliberate, focused, and coordinated support. Utah’s governor has firmly stated that the death penalty will be sought against this guy, and I hope that’s the outcome.
I knew the left is a deranged, evil, death-loving, hateful group. But after seeing the posts and comments from them about this murder, I am left shocked at the degree of raw evil they possess. The left truly is a demon-possessed cult.
We, the Christian Conservatives, are their target. Stay strapped, prepared, and vocal.
I have to agree with you Cayenne…
Even during my hippie days, the spirit of murder in the left wasn’t this strong…
Just in some alphabet agencies…
Now we have a whole political party of lefties who ditched their civility… I remember it was Nancy who first called for incivility and then “Mad” Maxine joined the call…
I remember all of that and am left in astonishment at how far nearly half of our population has turned away from morality and are turning into animals… Makes me believe demons are real…
Truth
Over 600,000 abortions a year and it’s momma didn’t abort this thing.
FRY BABY FRY!!!
I think there were several direct accomplices that should be questioned and/or arrested.
America now knows if you say something that the Despicable democRAT doesn’t like, the Despicable democRAT will murder you. This POS tyler robinson didn’t like Charlie Kirk and Charlie’s ideas, so he murdered Charlie Kirk. It’s the democRAT way.
Yeah? And where did he learn to take a 200 yard shot? The only one’s I know who can shoot that well are farmers or snipers. WHICH IS IT? What weapon did he use and where did he get it. Were his fingerprints even on it, or any of the rounds? Why did, before the dust even settled, Tel Aviv announce “We didn’t do it?” when Kirk was going after them. It’s time to kick the Jews out of America and make them go fight for Israel. WHERE THEY BELONG! Anytime something bad happens, you can bet the Jews aren’t far behind. Sorry, but that’s the way it is.
