Let's recap quickly, as there's nothing else yet.
John had all the updated still photos in his last post of the evening yesterday.
This was the surveillance video they released last evening, of the shadowy figure on the roof who'd been seen in the early videos...

...actually letting himself off the rooftop. You can see where he injures his leg as he hits the ground. He then limps off towards the parking lot (and, yes, I'm assuming gender here).

This dovetails perfectly with what we had assumed happened when we saw the earlier neighborhood video of a black-clad figured limping its way down a street.
#EXCLUSIVE 🚨 Charlie Kirk Person of Interest Seen On Video Heading Toward Campushttps://t.co/fOlM1oxCPO pic.twitter.com/ZFKO5qKopM

At first, everyone thought the individual was heading towards campus, but this turned out to have been taken in the aftermath of Kirk's assassination.
Alright.
I had a feeling this wasn't going to take long, between the really terrifc surveillance system on campus, the good pictures they got of this guy, and even the 4chan autistics working feverishly hunting down people the way only they can do.
If 4Chan ID’d the shooter faster than the FBI…that would be…something.

Weaponized autism is a thing.
Everyone wants justice.
I've been working on a Charlie tribute for work.

This is my favorite clip.
It's not a gotcha, he isn't "owning" anybody, it's just a decent, personable guy using his talents to try to get young people to think for themselves.
He was good at it.
That's why they killed him. pic.twitter.com/Mwdcl21Gdn
Now we wait for word.
You know the drill, my friends - updates as they happen.
Beege ADDS:
Turned in by a minister - his pastor and his dad.
The pastor and his dad took him in. Give that dad credit! It had to be very difficult to do the right thing when it's your own son.

President Trump announced early Friday that a suspect for Charlie Kirk’s assassination was turned in by his father — with law enforcement sources telling The Post it is a 22-year-old Utah local, Tyler Robinson.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” during a live interview at the cable giant’s Manhattan studio, saying he heard just minutes before his 8 a.m. interview.
“Somebody who was very close to him turned him in,” the president said, then revealing it was the suspect’s dad who relayed it through “a minister who was involved with law enforcement.”
...Trump did not ID the suspect. However, law enforcement sources told The Post it was Robinson, who lives in Utah.
Dang.
BREAKING 🔴🔴

The New York Post says the man arrested for Charlie Kirk’s murder is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah, who was handed over to authorities by his own father. pic.twitter.com/aMDx4DzdXu
Wowsahs. CNN has some interesting background on the reported suspect. His dad works for the Washington Sheriff's Dept, and NYT says they live in a massive $600K house
That's what I'd like to know, who "identified" him and gave his name? Article doesn't say. At least they clarified whatever Trump was trying to say on Fox. pic.twitter.com/kvISG8TGbE

...The killer then confessed to his father, who is a a 27-year veteran of the Washington County Sheriff's Department, sources told Daily Mail. His father then contacted authorities and secured his son before he could be taken into custody.
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 New York Times reported that the suspect was taken into custody around 11pm local time in southern Utah on Thursday night. The alleged shooter lived in a $600,000 six-bedroom home in Washington, Utah - around 260 miles south of where the carnage unfolded in Orem.
Little is known of Robinson at this time, and officials have not yet released a motive to the shooting.
Kirk had his throat blown out, and these assshats STILL cannot stop with the lies.
"Republicans need to tone down the rhetoric. Also, here's a lie we told about the beliefs of a man who was assassinated for them and our correction still makes it sound like he believes them." https://t.co/Rq5dOwyIyD

Beege MORE: FBI conference set up for 9 local, but delayed by a bit
More snippets of Tyler Robinson.
Man - to go so horrifically sideways in your life. I will never comprehend.
They Got Him, Tyler Robinson the Suspect identified in the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

He seemed to have a normal middle class life, trips to Alaska, hunting fishing etc. Pure evil.
