Suspect's family helped apprehend Charlie Kirk's killer - Utah Governor

Tyler Robinson, suspected in the murder case of Charlie Kirk, has been apprehended thanks to information provided by the victim's family. Utah Governor Spencer Cox announced this at a press conference, emphasizing the importance of family involvement in the investigation, UNN reports with reference to Sky News.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, we got him

According to him, Tyler Robinson's family played a key role in exposing the suspect. 

A member of Tyler Robinson's family reached out to a family friend, who contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or hinted that he had committed the incident 

The phrase "we got him" has become symbolic and, observers believe, is a deliberate reference to the statement by L. Paul Bremer, then head of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, when he announced the capture of Saddam Hussein by American forces in 2003.

The arrest of the suspect was the result of joint efforts by law enforcement and the victim's family, and the investigation is ongoing.
