Tyler Robinson, the suspect in custody for the assassination of Charlie Kirk , is being held under "special watch" until he completes a mental health evaluation, authorities said Sunday.

Robinson , 22, will remain on a special watch status in the Utah County Sheriff's Department special housing unit so that authorities can "keep a close eye on him" until officials can clear his mental health, the department said in a statement.

The process may take several days, the sheriff’s department said.

Once cleared, Robinson will continue with the classification process to determine where he will be housed while in custody.
