   Tyler Robinson, the man suspected of killing conservative activist Charlie   
   Kirk during a campus event at a Utah university, had eluded authorities   
   for more than a day.   
      
   However, after his father recognized him from photographs distributed by   
   authorities, officials say, a series of events ultimately led to the 22-   
   year-old Robinson being taken into custody.   
      
   While there are many unanswered questions about the killing, which   
   officials have called a "political assassination," information from   
   officials and those who know Robinson have begun to assemble a portrait of   
   the alleged gunman.   
      
   Here's what we know about Robinson, how the shooting was carried out and   
   how he was apprehended.   
      
   How Robinson was apprehended   
   At a press conference on Friday morning, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox stated in   
   his opening remarks, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him."   
      
   Cox said that after Robinson's father recognized his son in the   
   distributed photographs, he told Robinson to turn himself in. Robinson   
   initially said no but later changed his mind, officials said.   
      
   The father then called a youth pastor, who is also a U.S. Marshals task   
   force officer. The officer advised the father to have Robinson stay in   
   place. This information was then conveyed to the FBI.   
      
   Cox thanked Robinson's family, "who did the right thing."

   Tyler Robinson, 22 has been identified as the person suspected of shooting   
   and killing Charlie Kirk.   
   Facebook   
      
   During the press conference, Cox said that when law enforcement identified   
   Robinson, they also interviewed Robinson's roommate, who showed them a   
   message between Robinson and his roommate.   
      
   "The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the   
   contact Tyler, stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point,   
   leaving the rifle in a bush," Cox said.   
      
   The messages also referred to engraving bullets and a mention of a scope   
   and the rifle being unique, authorities said.   
      
   The rifle is an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action   
   rifle wrapped in a towel, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.   
   The location of the firearm appears to match the suspect's route of   
   travel, the sources said.   
      
   What writing on shell casings allegedly said   
   Cox also described what was engraved on the casings found on the scene.   
      
   According to Cox, of the three unfired casings, one read: "Hey fascist!   
   CATCH!" with an arrow symbol pointing up, then to the right, and then   
   three arrows pointing down.   
      
   Another unfired casing read "O Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Ciao,   
   ciao!" seemingly in reference to Italian anti-fascist song popularized   
   following World War II and another unfired casing read "If you read this,   
   you are GAY Lmao."   
      
   The meanings of the writings on the casings are unclear. It is also   
   unclear if the writings are meant to be a misdirection or distraction for   
   investigators.   
      
   Apart from a reference to fascism, which Cox said "speaks for itself," he   
   did not elaborate on the meanings of the other writings.   
      
   The motives of the suspect remain unclear.   
      
   FBI Director Kash Patel said that law enforcement caught Robinson within   
   33 hours of the shooting and were on scene when the shooting occurred   
   within 16 minutes.   
      
   "This is a very much an ongoing investigation, as the governor said, and   
   we will continue to work with state and local authorities to develop the   
   investigation to provide them the evidence they need for their ongoing   
   prosecutions," Patel said.   
      
   What we know about Robinson   
   At the press conference, Cox said Robinson had become "more political in   
   recent years."   
      
   Robinson mentioned during a dinner conversation with a family member that   
   Kirk would be visiting Utah Valley University, according to Cox. Robinson   
   and the family members discussed why they didn't like Kirk and his   
   viewpoints, and the family member stated Kirk was "full of hate and   
   spreading hate," Cox said.   
      
   Online voter registration records show that Robinson is registered to vote   
   with no party affiliation.   
      
   He is listed as being an “inactive” voter, meaning he has not voted in two   
   regular general elections and did not respond to a notice sent by the   
   county clerk.

   Social media posts: ACT scores, hunting   
   An Instagram page appearing to belong to Robinson’s father -- which   
   officials are reviewing in connection with the investigation -- also   
   includes multiple memes that are disparaging towards Democrats.   
      
   Additionally, the day after the 2024 election -- which President Trump won   
   -- Robinson’s father posted a photo of a sunset with the caption: “A new   
   dawn for America!”   
      
   An August 2020 post on a Facebook account appearing to belong to Tyler   
   Robinson's mother which is being reviewed by law enforcement reads, "This   
   boy is a genius, and I am hoping he'll pick Utah college and stay close to   
   momma!"   
      
   The post includes a screenshot of a scorecard for the ACT standardized   
   test suggesting Robinson scored a 34 on the test, placing him in the 99th   
   percentile nationwide.

   Robinson's father, which law enforcement is reviewing, shows Tyler and   
   what appears to be a younger brother posing next to a dead deer.“First

   Officials said Robinson was not enrolled at Utah Valley University and   
   lived in Washington County, Utah, with his family.   
      
   Robinson is currently enrolled at Dixie Technical College in Utah, a trade   
   school where he was purportedly working toward becoming an electrician,   
   according to two people who know Robinson but asked not to be identified.   
      
   One of the individuals told ABC News that Robinson was not in class on the   
   day of the Kirk shooting.   
      
   Prior to Dixie, Robinson attended Pine View High School in St. George,   
   graduating in 2021, according to an online graduation video reviewed by
