The parents of Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin Tyler Robinson are a law enforcement veteran and a care worker. 

Law enforcement sources identified Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident, as the main suspect in the assassination of the conservative activist.

Robinson was taken into custody on Thursday night in southern Utah after having allegedly confessed to his father Matt. 

His father is a a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff’s Department, sources told Daily Mail. 

The father then contacted authorities and secured his son before he could be taken into custody. 

Robinson was a student at Utah State University on a scholarship, insiders confirmed to Daily Mail. 

Amber Robinson, his mother, is employed at Intermountain Support Coordination Services, a state-contracted organization in Utah, which assists disabled individuals in accessing care.

The family’s social media reveals Robinson, alongside his two younger brothers, on vacations and posting cheerful selfies. Some of these highlight the moment when the accused was accepted into college.

He lives in a $600,000 six-bedroom home in Washington, Utah – about 260 miles south of Kirk’s assassination in Orem. 

One image from Robinson’s mother’s social media from 2017, shows him wearing a Donald Trump costume for Halloween. 

He also posed with guns in his childhood, which included a M2 Browning 50. caliber gun. 

Authorities have not yet established a motive for the murder. During a Thursday night press conference, officials stated that if Robinson is found guilty, he will face the death penalty.

Trump announced the arrest in an appearance on Fox News, where he said that ‘someone very close’ to the suspect turned him in.

Robinson’s arrest comes after a manhunt for the suspect stretched to over a day and a half, with officials previously offering a reward of $100,000 for information leading to his capture. 

Surveillance footage had been released showing a figure on top of a roof leaping from a building and sprinting into a nearby neighborhood after Kirk was shot.  

The conservative commentator was hit by a single bullet while speaking to a crowd at the public university in Orem on Wednesday afternoon.

The father-of-two, known for his fierce MAGA views and thrilling debates with college kids across the country, collapsed immediately after being hit by the gunfire.

The alleged killer was found after multiple suspects were incorrectly apprehended on Tuesday. 

Initially, a ‘person of interest’ was said to be in custody in connection with Kirk’s shooting, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced Wednesday evening. 

Kirk was answering a question about mass shootings mere seconds before he was struck. He was rushed to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Kirk leaves behind his wife Erika Frantzve, with whom he had a three-year-old daughter and a son, 16 months. The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in May.

President Donald Trump led the tributes for the late political commentator. ‘The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social.

‘He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!’
