Tyler Robinson is a 22-year-old man from Utah who has been identified and arrested as the suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Robinson has no prior criminal record and was known to have grown more political in recent years, reportedly expressing disdain for Kirk. He briefly attended Utah State University as a pre- engineering major and was involved in an electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College. Robinson was apprehended after his father recognized him in FBI-released photos and urged him to turn himself in, with cooperation from family members and law enforcement. The investigation into his motives is ongoing, but some messages and evidence suggest premeditation involving a rifle and engraved bullets. Robinson comes from a close-knit family and community, with no known violent history before this incident.
