The parents of Charlie Kirk's suspected assassin Tyler Robinson are a law enforcement veteran and a care worker.

Police 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 Robinson.

Matt 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.

He lives in a $600,000 six-bedroom home in Washington, Utah - about 260 miles south of Kirk's assassination in Orem.

He also posed with guns in his childhood, which included a M2 Browning 50. caliber gun.

Officials have yet to confirm a motive to the assassination. Authorities said at a press conference on Thursday night that Robinson will face the death penalty if convicted.

Trump announced the arrest in an appearance on Fox News, where he said that 'someone very close' to the suspect turned him in.
