Tyler Robinson: Alleged Charlie Kirk shooting suspect's photos surface after manhunt

Authorities released multiple photographs of the alleged suspect in Charlie Kirk shooting in Utah who was spotted wearing an all black attire.

Early Friday, President Donald Trump announced that a suspect in the Charlie Kirk shooting was turned in by his father. Law enforcement sources revealed to The New York Post that the alleged suspect is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, a Utah local.

Trump says alleged suspect turned in by his father

During a live interview, Trump told Fox & Friends, “I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” stating that he had heard just minutes before the interview scheduled for 8 am. He continued, “Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” and revealed that it was the suspect's father who shared the information with a “minister who was involved with law enforcement.”

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,” as per The New York Post.

The president did not ID the suspect during the interview, but the law enforcement sources told The Post that it was Robinson. An update has been scheduled later this morning by the investigators.
