It has just been revealed this morning by President Trump that the suspect is in custody and the New York Post says his name is Tyler Robinson.

Trump didn’t reveal the identity, but said his father turned him in.

Here’s more from the New York Post:

President Trump announced early Friday that a suspect for Charlie Kirk’s assassination was turned in by his father — with law enforcement sources telling The Post it is a 22-year-old Utah local, Tyler Robinson.

“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” during a live interview at the cable giant’s Manhattan studio, saying he heard just minutes before his 8 a.m. interview.

“Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” the president said, then revealing it was the suspect’s dad who relayed it through “a minister who was involved with law enforcement.”

“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.”

Trump did not ID the suspect. However, law enforcement sources told The Post it was Robinson, who lives in Utah.

Investigators have scheduled a public update for later this morning.

Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA and dad of two, had just answered a question from an audience member about mass shootings committed by transgender people at the outdoor event on the campus in Orem when he was hit by a single blast of gunfire.

“I didn’t watch,” Trump told Fox News on Friday of the shockingly graphic videos. “I heard about it… I would have never made a good doctor, let me put it that way,” the president said.

“I mean, I heard enough. I didn’t want to watch it… I didn’t want to remember Charlie that way.”

Officers from at least four law enforcement agencies were involved in the manhunt, including the FBI, the Orem Police, the Utah Department of Public Safety and the Utah Valley University Police.

I knew last night’s press conference must have been a head fake, because it didn’t seem that believable to me. Also Trump said yesterday he understood the FBI had made big progress.

We’ll have more on the upcoming public update when we have it.
