The FBI has taken a suspect into custody in connection to the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk following a multi-day manhunt.

Law enforcement identified the suspect as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was arrested in southern Utah, The Associated Press reported.

Law enforcement said the suspect confessed to his father, who then told authorities, a source told NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network.

Facial recognition technology was used to identify the suspect and items visible in surveillance footage were found on him during a search, NewsNation also reported.

The announcement confirms earlier remarks from President Trump, who said a suspect was in custody during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

“So much work has been done over the last two and a half days…but yeah, I think we’re in great shape. And he’s in custody,” Trump added.

Kirk, 31, was shot and killed during an appearance at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The conservative activist was a close ally of the White House and was a close friend of Donald Trump Jr. and many administration officials.

FBI leaders based in Utah announced Thursday morning that they had recovered the rifle used in the shooting.

They also said they had considerable footage of the suspect, who they described as having “blended in well with a college institution.”

Law enforcement later released images of a person of interest in the case, showing a man wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a T-shirt with an eagle and an American flag. The FBI then offered an up to $100,000 reward for any tip resulting in the arrest of the shooter.
