OREM, Utah (AP) — Utah’s governor says the Charlie Kirk assassination suspect had indicated to a family friend that he was connected to the shooting. Gov. Spencer Cox says the suspect had grown more political and was opposed to Kirk’s beliefs. The suspect in custody in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk is a 22-year-old from Utah. That’s according to a law enforcement official who told The Associated Press. The officials says authorities have identified the suspect as Tyler Robinson. The official was not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke Friday on the condition of anonymity. Calls to telephone numbers listed for Robinson in public records ring unanswered.
