Tyler Robinson is a 22-year-old from Utah who has recently been accused and charged with the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Robinson allegedly shot Kirk at an event at Utah Valley University. He has no prior criminal record and grew up in a close-knit, religious community in southern Utah. Robinson was described as a bright student with a notable ACT score of 34, having attended Utah State University on an academic scholarship and later enrolling in an electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College. His family played a significant role in his apprehension, with his father recognizing him from FBI-released photos and encouraging him to turn himself in.

The investigation into his motives and background is ongoing, with authorities still building a comprehensive understanding.
