JUST IN: Charlie Kirk Suspected Killer Now in Custody – Trump
US President Donald Trump on Friday announced that the suspect had been taken into custody over the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk after a massive manhunt.
“Somebody very close to him turned him in,” Trump told Fox News in a live studio interview.
The suspect who shot and killed Charlie Kirk is in custody after almost two days on the run from authorities, President Donald Trump said.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump told Fox & Friends on Friday. The president said that “somebody close” to the suspect turned him in, before expressing “hope” that he receives the death sentence.
It appears to bring an end to a manhunt for the shooting suspect, which stretched into its third day Friday, after the conservative activist and Trump ally was fatally shot during a trademark “Prove Me Wrong” debate at a Utah college campus on Wednesday.
The FBI and Utah Department of Safety released new footage Thursday evening of a suspect leaping from a rooftop at Utah Valley University before he fled into nearby trees moments later. Officials also released several new photographs of a “person of interest” from UVU campus security video.
On Thursday, Vice President JD Vance went to Utah to accompany Kirk’s body as it was flown back to the Turning Point USA founder’s home state of Arizona.
