The suspect in custody in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk is a 22-year-old from Utah. That's according to a law enforcement official who told The Associated Press.
The officials says authorities have identified the suspect as Tyler Robinson. The official was not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke Friday on the condition of anonymity. President Donald Trump said Friday on Fox News Channel a minister
turned the suspect in to authorities.
Federal and Utah state investigators had been appealing for the public's help in finding the person who killed Kirk on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem on Wednesday. Kirk was an ally of Trump and was influential in rallying young Republican voters.
