Police have evacuated the area around Tyler Robinson’s family home after receiving ‘concerning information’ from the residence.

Investigators have not revealed what exactly raised concern, but said the information came from directly in front of the residence. A police helicopter is flying over the neighborhood and reporters have been told to clear the area, Fox News reports.

The alleged assassin was named as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, from Washington, Utah. He is a student in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College in St. George.

He was not registered with any political party and did not vote in the November presidential elections, according to public records. But officials said Robinson became ‘more political’ in recent years and spoke about disliking the conservative activist’s ideas. 

Robinson was turned into police overnight by his father and a minister in southern Utah after authorities shared images of the shooter, law enforcement sources told the Daily Mail.

The suspect’s arrest came after Utah’s Governor Spencer Cox pleaded with the public to help find the person who shot 31-year-old Kirk dead while he spoke to students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The FBI was offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Kirk’s killer.
