At a press conference, Governor Spencer Cox announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him,” revealing Robinson is now in custody at Utah County Jail on charges of aggravated murder, felony firearm discharge, and obstruction of justice. Charging documents are expected early next week.

Law enforcement officials say Robinson’s own family members turned him in, after one relative disclosed he had grown increasingly political and admitted he knew Kirk would be speaking at Utah Valley University.

The FBI confirmed it has recovered the murder weapon — an imported Mauser .30-06 bolt action rifle — hidden near the scene. Agents also revealed disturbing messages written on bullet cartridges, including one that read, “Hey fascist! CATCH!” and another mocking Kirk’s LGBTQ critics with, “If you read this, you are GAY Lmao.”

Video surveillance showed Robinson climbing down from the roof moments after the shooting, initially limping while concealing the rifle before fleeing into a nearby neighborhood.

President Donald Trump reacted on Fox & Friends, saying the suspect “should get the death penalty” and praised Cox for supporting capital punishment in Utah.

Cox, meanwhile, called the assassination “an attack on all of us,” urging Americans — especially young people — to reject political rage. “We can choose a different path,” he said.

Kirk, 31, was struck by a single bullet around 12:20 p.m. Wednesday during his appearance at Utah Valley University. He was transported to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Federal investigators say over 11,000 leads have been submitted, and forensic evidence is currently being processed at FBI labs in Quantico. Officials do not expect further arrests.
