Update (0951ET):

AP News and the New York Post both report that the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination is 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah. Robinson's father apparently turned him in to the authorities - that is the official narrative so far.

Federal investigators are scheduled to hold a press conference later this morning about the new developments.

"The suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk confessed to his father that he was the shooter. His father told authorities and secured his son until they could arrive to pick him up," CNN's Kristen Holmes reported earlier.

Earlier, President Donald Trump revealed that Robinson had been arrested - without naming him directly - saying, "With a high degree of certainty, we have him." He credited both law enforcement and a minister who helped turn the suspect in after someone close to Robinson identified him.

Federal investigators have yet to release a motive.
