The parents of Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin Tyler Robinson are a law enforcement veteran and a care worker.
Law enforcement sources identified Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident, as the main suspect in the assassination of the conservative activist.
Robinson was taken into custody on Thursday night in southern Utah after having allegedly confessed to his father Matt.
His father is a a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff’s Department, sources told Daily Mail.
The father then contacted authorities and secured his son before he could be taken into custody.
Robinson was a student at Utah State University on a scholarship, insiders confirmed to Daily Mail.
His mother, Amber Robinson, works for Intermountain Support Coordination Services, a company contracted by the state of Utah to help disabled people receive care.
The family’s social media show Robinson, who has two younger brothers, enjoying vacations and sharing smiling selfies, including some celebrating the alleged killer getting into college.
