A suspect for Charlie Kirk’s assassination was turned in by his father, according to President Donald Trump, and according to reports, it was Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah.
Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent ally of President Donald Trump, was fatally shot in the neck during a campus event on Wednesday, sparking nationwide outrage and a massive manhunt.
Robinson was reportedly turned in by his father who contacted authorities through a minister connected to law enforcement.
His name was released on Friday morning by The New York Post, citing unnamed law enforcement sources.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Friday morning.
Trump added, “I hope he’s going to be found guilty and I hope he gets the death penalty. What he did — Charlie Kirk was the finest person and he didn’t deserve this.”
