His name was reported by multiple US media sources as Donald tru.mp sat down with Fox & Friends this morning.

During that interview, the President said cops had a “high degree of certainty” they got the “person they are looking for”.

Little is known about Robinson at this time, but it is understood he was a student at Utah State University.

Pictures from social media shed some light on the suspect, who was reported to dislike Charlie Kirk.

They also include a snap of a Halloween costume showing him “riding” Donald tru.mp.

Robinson had reportedly “become more political in recent years” according to his family, and had made his disdain for Kirk clear at home.

The presser also confirmed that he is from Utah, where he had lived in a $600,000 six-bedroom home.

After a lengthy manhunt to chase down a suspect linked to Kirk’s s*høøting, Robinson was identified earlier today.

Some sources have reported that his own dad turned him in to cops.

But the Utah governor suggested it was a family friend.

In his Fox interview, tru.mp said that “someone very close” to the suspect had turned him in.

Robinson’s dad was involved with law enforcement, according to reports.

Sources have told the press that Robinson confessed to him, who then tipped off the authorities.

Messages were found inscribed onto bullet casing from unused ammunition.

One read: “Oh, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao” in reference to a popular Italian anti-fascist song sung during World War II.

Others include disturbing messages such as “If you read this, you are gay lmao”.

Speaking at a press conference following Robinson’s apprehension, Utah governor Spencer Cox said a family member revealed the suspect “had become more political in recent years”.

Upon learning that Charlie Kirk was coming to town, they had “talked about why they didn’t like him”.

Investigators had interviewed one of his college roommates during their probe.

They said he had made a “joke” on the platform Discord.

Cox went on: “The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact Tyler stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel.”

Facebook accounts also claim to back up his father’s law enforcement background.

Pictures from his family’s social media accounts show Robinson posing with heavy weapons, including what looks like a bazooka.

Another photo shows him dressed up in a costume that makes it look like he is riding Donald tru.mp for Halloween.

It all comes after Kirk was s*høt dead at a student debate event on Wednesday afternoon.

He was hit in the neck by a bullet while debating with one of the university’s students.

Kirk was initially reported to be in critical condition by the media, but Donald tru.mp later announced that he had died.

His assassination has been met with widespread condemnation across the world.
