The manhunt for the shooter who killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk ended Friday with a suspect taken into custody, authorities said.
Utah’s Department of Public Safety and the FBI confirmed the arrest during a morning briefing, capping a two-day search that began after the 31-year-old podcaster and Turning Point USA cofounder was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
Authorities identified the suspect as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Washington, Utah, after receiving a tip from a friend of Robinson’s family. Officials said the tip came late Thursday night, prompting agents to move quickly to locate and arrest him. A $100,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the shooter was announced Thursday.
