Utah Governor even stated that Robinson had grown interest in politics before this incident. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Tyler confessed his crime to a family friend, a revelation which helped in tracking him down.
In 2021, Amber attended the University of Utah, and she visited the campus with her son, Tyler, in 2021. She wrote on FB, how it was great to get some one-on-one time with her son, coupled with ice cream. She wrote:
“It was great to get some one on one time with this boy. Plus Agie ice cream! I didn’t know that was a thing, but it’s great!”
Tyler Robinson’s father helped police catch him
For the uninitiated, Tyler Robinson, who was in hiding, was apprehended by the police after his father, Matt Robinson, assisted the authorities. President Donald Trump was the first to confirm that the suspect had been placed in custody after two days of the killing of Charlie Kirk. Trump added that a minister and the suspect’s father played an important role in persuading him to surrender to the law. He even claimed that Matt Robinson himself drove Tyler to the police headquarters. Trump said:
“I hope he’s going to be found guilty and I hope he gets the death penalty. What he did — Charlie Kirk was the finest person and he didn’t deserve this. He worked so hard and so well. Everybody liked him.”
It is worth mentioning that Tyler wasn’t a student of Utah Valley University. He attended the school for one semester in 2021.

The family member also revealed how Tyler had mentioned that Charlie Kirk was coming to Utah Valley University during dinner.
