Utah Governor Spencer Cox on Friday named Tyler Robinson as the suspect in the killing of US conservative activist Charlie Kirk, following an extensive manhunt. Cox confirmed Robinson’s identity shortly after President Donald Trump announced that the alleged shooter had been apprehended. Follow our live blog for the latest updates.

Kirk's killer eluded police and federal agents for more than 24 hours after Wednesday's shooting, in which a sniper fired a single gunshot that killed Kirk during an appearance at Utah Valley University in Orem.

"I think we have him," Trump told Fox News in an interview, adding that a person who knows the suspect had turned him in.
