The shooter who killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk was identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah. Robinson was apprehended after a manhunt lasting over 30 hours, with the key moment being when a relative, reportedly his father, recognized him from surveillance images and encouraged him to surrender. Robinson is currently in custody and has not been cooperating with authorities. Charges including capital murder are expected to be filed. Authorities continue to investigate Robinson's motives and background, noting that witnesses mentioned he had become more political in recent years. Robinson allegedly shot Kirk from a rooftop at Utah Valley University during an outdoor event where Kirk was speaking on September 10, 2025.
