Utah Gov. Spencer Cox’s campaign to turn down the nation’s political temperature has long stood out as a rarity in a Republican Party led by President Donald Trump.

Officials said that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah has been arrested in connection with Charlie Kirk's death.

Charlie Kirk's killer was arrested overnight in Utah, officials announced Friday morning. Tyler Robinson, 22, is in custody based in part on a tip from his own father and will face charges for murdering the conservative political activist earlier this week.

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk died Wednesday after he was shot at an event at Utah Valley University. Officials say a suspect is now in custody.

Authorities in Utah have confirmed the identity of the suspect as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. The suspect is in custody.

The suspect in custody in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The messages included "Hey, fascist! Catch" and "If you read this, you are gay. LMAO," according to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox.
