Officials have identified the person accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk as 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox confirmed the suspect's identity at a press conference on Friday morning, standing along FBI Director Kash Patel and other law enforcement officials.
Cox said that a family member of Robinson's 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.
Investigators then identified Robinson in surveillance from the Utah Valley University — where Kirk was killed on Wednesday — which Cox said showed Robinson arriving to UVU at 8:29 a.m. in a gray Dodge Challenger.
Cox added that when investigators arrested Robinson in the early hours of Friday morning he "was observed in consistent clothing with those surveillance images."
