The suspect in custody in connection with Charlie Kirk's killing has now been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah, the governor says. The suspect's father identified his son from photos that had been made public, according to a source.
The father told his son to turn himself in. He also called a youth pastor to assist. The pastor called the US Marshals, who took the suspect into custody, according to a law enforcement official.
"We got him. On the evening of September 11, a family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident," Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said during a news conference on Friday. https://cnn.it/4691j6I
