Suspect in Charlie Kirk shooting is in custody

Authorities say a 22-year-old Utah man has been taken into custody in connection with the fatal shooting of conservative media personality Charlie Kirk.

Tyler Robinson, of Washington, Utah, was arrested late Thursday night, 33 hours after Kirk was shot, FBI Director Kash Patel said.

"We got him," Utah Gov. Spencer Cox declared during a Friday morning press conference.

Robinson was turned in by members of his family and a family friend, who arranged for him to be taken into custody by law enforcement officials, Cox said.

The governor confirmed that investigators believe Robinson became "more political" in recent years and had highlighted Kirk's visit to UVU to family members.

"Robinson had become more political in recent years," Cox said. "Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU."

According to court documents obtained by NBC News, Robinson was arrested on charges of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice.
