Charlie Kirk’s shocking death this week has already sparked a wave of conspiracy theories online — one of the wildest claims being that a man near Kirk at the time of the shooting looked strikingly like a Secret Service agent who once protected Donald Trump.
“Someone very close” turned him in
On Friday morning, speaking on Fox & Friends, President Donald Trump announced that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder is now in custody. Multiple U.S. media outlets report that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been identified as the suspected killer, citing unnamed sources.
”I think with a high degree of certainty we have him in custody,” Trump said during the interview.
As previously reported, Trump told Fox News that “someone very close” to the suspect helped lead authorities to them. The president also expressed hope that Charlie Kirk’s killer faces the death penalty.
Speaking on Fox & Friends, Trump said, “Kirk was the finest person and he didn’t deserve this.”
The connection to Charlie Kirk struck a personal chord for Trump, who survived two assassination attempts just last year.
In July 2024, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed to the roof of a building near a campaign rally Trump was holding in Butler, Pennsylvania, and opened fire.
One of the bullets grazed the president’s ear, but Secret Service agents quickly shielded him from harm.
