Tyler Robinson is a 22-year-old from Utah who has been arrested as the suspect in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. He is from Washington County, Utah, and had a strong academic record, including attending Utah State University briefly and being a student in an electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College. Robinson was apprehended following a tip from a family member who said he had confessed or implied involvement in the shooting. Authorities have charged him with aggravated murder and related offenses. Robinson had been described as increasingly politically aware and had expressed disdain for Kirk prior to the shooting. His family, who live near St. George, Utah, reportedly played a role in his surrender. He has no prior criminal record, and investigators are continuing to build a comprehensive understanding of his motives and background.
