The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a speech at a Utah university has shocked the political world in the U.S. and beyond. Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old suspect, was arrested early Friday, September 12, 2025, following a 33-hour manhunt. The arrest was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump and later confirmed by authorities during a press conference in Orem, Utah. Trump revealed earlier on Fox News that someone very close to the suspect, including his father and a pastor, played a role in his capture. Robinson briefly attended Utah State University in Logan for one semester in 2021, but it is unclear why he left.
