The suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk is in police custody after a two-day manhunt.
The right-wing influencer, 31, was fatally shot on Wednesday afternoon while speaking at an event on Utah Valley University campus in Orem.
Police began searching for the shooter on the campus, before eventually extending the manhunt to nearby neighbourhoods.
Latest updates as suspect named
US president Donald Trump told Fox News the suspect was in custody on Friday, adding “somebody that was very close to him turned him in”.
Here’s what we know about the suspect so far:
Pictures and footage released by the FBI
The suspect has been named as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old man from Utah, according to Sky News’ US partner NBC News.
Earlier, Mr Trump had said the suspect was “28 or 29”, but caveated that his facts were “subject to be corrected” and “based on what I’m hearing”.
Before news of his capture came in, the FBI had released images of a “person of interest” in the shooting, showing him wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a backpack.
They also released video footage of him fleeing after the incident, where he could be seen walking on the roof of the building from where the fatal shot was fired.

He was then seen climbing down and heading toward a wooded area, where police say he abandoned his rifle.
The first description of the suspect came from a police officer on her radio shortly after the shooting, who said he was “wearing jeans, black shirt, black mask, long rifle”.
Beau Mason, commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, later said he “appears to be of college age” and that he “blended in well with a college institution”.

How was the suspect caught?
Mr Trump said the person who was “very close” with the suspect went to “the father”, who then went to a US Marshal.
“The father convinced the son,” he said, adding that they then “drove into the police headquarters, and he’s there now”.
He added that he may need to be corrected and that he was “talking based on what I’m hearing”.

According to two senior law enforcement officials, a family member recognized the suspect from photos and turned him in to the police.
A third official has confirmed that the suspect is now in custody.
Prior to this update, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said investigators had conducted nearly 200 interviews related to the case as 20 law enforcement partners worked on the investigation.
What weapon did the shooter use?
The weapon was found after the shooting in a wooded area where the shooter had fled, according to FBI agent Robert Bohls.
He described the gun as a “high-powered bolt action rifle”.

Investigators collected a footwear impression, a palm print, and forearm imprints for analysis.
Firearms consultant David Dyson told Sky News that, based on the range from where they are believed to have fired, the gunman would likely need to be a somewhat skilled target shooter.
But he suggested that while the shot may be difficult for anyone without experience, it’s “not a great range” for someone with practice.
