Tyler Robinson has been identified as the main suspect and alleged shooter in the murder of Charlie Kirk. Two days after the manhunt for the suspect began, Donald Trump announced that law enforcement had tracked him down on September 12, 2025.
«I think, with a high degree of confidence, that we have found him — in our custody», - Trump told Fox News, adding, «everyone did a great job, we worked with local police, the governor, everyone did a great job».
The founder of Turning Point USA was shot on September 10, 2025, while speaking at the University of Utah. Witnesses say Kirk was answering a question from an audience member about mass shootings in America when a bullet struck him, blood visible running down his neck. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Kirk passed away later that same day. He is survived by his wife Erica, two children, parents, and other family members.
Robinson, the suspect in Kirk’s murder, is 22 years old according to various sources.
Robinson is a resident of Utah.
At the time of publication, the motive for Kirk’s alleged murder by Robinson had not been announced. However, Utah Governor Spencer Cox stated that bullets found at the crime scene had the inscription «Hey, fascist! Catch!» according to The New York Post.
Robinson has not declared his political party affiliation, according to publicly available voting records. His last voter registration date was in 2021.
Trump told Fox News on September 12, 2025, that the suspect’s father had turned him over to authorities.
«Someone close noticed even the slightest tilt of the head, which no one else did», - the president explained. «And someone who was very close to him said 'hmm, that’s him' and ultimately reached out to the father, reached out to the U.S. Marshal».
Additionally, Robinson’s family members claimed he was «full of hate» and confessed to his father that he shot Kirk, according to NYP
