Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk's Murder: Suspect in Custody

A young Utah man suspected of murdering influential conservative activist Charlie Kirk was taken into custody, according to Governor Spencer Cox. Kirk was shot during a university event in Orem.

The suspect, Tyler Robinson, reportedly confessed to a family friend, who then informed authorities. Robinson's recent interest in politics and his negative comments about Kirk were noted by investigators.

Kirk, a close ally of former President Donald Trump and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University. His death has been met with outrage from both political parties and international figures.
