This comes after President Donald Trump announced that the suspect for the Turning Point USA's founder has been caught. The Post reported that Tyler Robinson is 22 years old and a Utah local.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told ‘Fox & Friends’ during a live interview. “Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” he added.

The president also said that the suspect's father relayed the information through ‘a minister who was involved with law enforcement’.
“I hope he’s going to be found guilty and I hope he gets the death penalty. What he did — Charlie Kirk was the finest person and he didn’t deserve this.”
Kirk was fatally shot on Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University in Orem. The 31-year-old was answering questions when a loud shot rang. He was hit in his neck. Charlie Kirk was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The FBI and law enforcement detained two people, but released them within hours. The agency then posted photos and videos of Robinson trying to escape the UVU campus after the shooting. A reward of $100k was announced.

The state of Utah will be pursuing the death penalty when the suspect is caught, Governor Spencer Cox has said.
“I hope he was going to be found guilty, I would imagine, and I hope he gets the death penalty,” Trump said Friday. “What he did. Charlie Kirk was the finest person that he didn’t deserve this. He worked so hard and so well. Everybody liked him.”
Asked if the shooter was part of a broader plot or network, Trump said that it appeared to be a one-off incident but that it was still unclear with the investigation continuing.
“Seems to be,” Trump said. “Well you don’t know, I mean, you don’t know.”
