OREM, Utah — The arrest of Tyler Robinson sent shockwaves through the small community where his family lives. Washington, a city of around 30,000, sits next to St. George in Utah's southwest corner. It's a 3 ½-hour drive from the Utah Valley University campus.

The 22-year-old is the suspect in the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk during a Wednesday event at the campus in Orem. After a 33-hour manhunt , Robinson's family helped turn him in the following day.

On Friday morning, after law enforcement released Robinson's name, officers from the Washington City Police and Washington County Sheriff's Office patrolled a quiet street, preventing onlookers from approaching the family's two-story gray stucco home.
