Assassin Apprehended? Trump Says So UPDATE: Suspect Is Tyler Robinson, 22 UPDATE: Confirmed Antifa Motive

Posted on | September 12, 2025 | Comments Off on Assassin Apprehended? Trump Says So UPDATE: Suspect Is Tyler Robinson, 22 UPDATE: Confirmed Antifa Motive

Thursday night’s press conference was pretty much a nothingburger and I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve been getting frustrated with the long delay in catching the Utah shooter. Now, however, the president himself says the FBI finally got their man:

President Trump announced Friday that a suspect has been arrested for Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
“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
‘Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” the president said.
The suspect was allegedly believed to have fired a single shot from an elevated position about 200 yards from the tent where Kirk, 31, was seated at the university’s Losee Center, authorities and sources previously told The Post. . . .
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.

UPDATE 9:58 a.m. ET: The name of the suspect is Tyler Robinson, age 22. We still await the beginning of the press conference.

UPDATE 10:22 a.m. ET: The main briefer at the press conference was Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, who laid out the evidence and testimony that led to the arrest of Tyler Robinson. According to witnesses, Robinson had become “more political,” and expressed “hate.” His messages on Discord were part of the evidence. Governor Cox quoted the Antifa messages inscribed on the bullet cases found in the rifle that Robinson used.
