The suspected shooter who killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a college speaking event in Utah confessed to a family member and is in custody, authorities said Friday morning.

The shooter was identified as Tyler Robinson, said Gov. Spencer Cox. He was taken into custody after a family member contacted a family friend, who told authorities Robinson had "confessed to them or implied that he committed the incident." Authorities tied him to the crime through a review of online messages, interviews with his family members and friends and surveillance video.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him," Cox said.

He was taken into custody at 10 p.m. local time on Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel said.
