The Governor of Utah took the mic Friday with a dramatic statement, "We got him."

Utah Governor Spencer Cox announced Robinson's dad reached out to a youth pastor, who contacted the U.S. Marshals with information that Robinson assassinated Charlie Kirk. As we reported, Robinson confessed to his dad, but was resisting turning himself in, and even threatened to kill himself. We're told Tyler finally agreed to surrender, and the dad contacted the youth pastor, who also works with the Marshals so he reached out to them.

Family told investigators Robinson had become more political recently, and when Charlie Kirk's planned appearance at Utah Valley University came up ... Robinson said Kirk was "full of hate" and "spreading hate."

You know how some kids end up following in their parents' footsteps in unexpected ways? Turns out it's the case with Dog The Bounty Hunter's son, Garry Chapman -- who became a cop!

And get this ... the media figure's child's been in some pretty harrowing situations in his line of work, although we're thinking being around his dad might have prepared him a little bit.

We're going to see how the bounty hunter's son ended up working in law enforcement -- and how his career was paused following a troubling incident.

Garry's mother was his father's fifth wife, Beth Chapman, who later became her husband's business partner.

In addition to Garry, Beth and Dog shared a daughter named Bonnie Joanne, and they welcomed both of their children prior to their 2006 marriage.

The bounty hunter spoke to us back in 2019 and claimed he, as well as his wife, went through a harrowing ordeal when their son's high school went into lockdown after a reportedly Columbine-obsessed individual headed to Colorado, although their child wasn't harmed.

Garry's mother passed away in 2019 after undergoing battles with both throat and lung cancer.

Garry eventually began a career in law enforcement, and he started out by working as a corrections officer.

He's also pursued higher education, and he told the Priceville Police Department he'd received an award for his Criminal Justice studies in a Q&A post shared in April 2025.

Garry claimed his father was the reason he decided to pursue law enforcement, and claimed he wanted to "follow a path" similar to the bounty hunter's.

He singled out the "support" of Priceville's local community for its police department as his favorite part of working in the area.

Garry's career was briefly paused in September 2025 after he was involved in a chase, which resulted in the hospitalization of six people and the death of a 17-year-old.

The driver of the vehicle, who was reportedly suspected of being drunk, reportedly entered an intersection in Hartselle, Alabama, where they collided with another vehicle.

The circumstances of the chase are currently under investigation, and the condition of the six hospitalized individuals isn't known.

Robert Bohls, the FBI special agent in charge, revealed the news in a press conference Thursday morning, adding the weapon was located in a wooded area.

He also told media investigators have collected a palm imprint, a forearm imprint and a "footwear impression" belonging to the suspect -- a male -- that will be sent for analysis.

3:36 PM PT -- Utah's Department of Public Safety commissioner Beau Mason says there's an active investigation for the shooter, but minutes before he said that at the press conference, FBI director Kash Patel said on social media the shooter was in custody.

Utah governor Spencer Cox says this was a "political assassination" and there's a person of interest in custody ... seemingly backing up what Patel is saying.

Cox made it a point to say the death penalty is still on the table in Utah.

Police in Texas can apparently turn a suspect into a human punching bag on camera and keep on working like nothing happened ... because that's what's playing out right now in El Paso.

D4vd's removal follows headlines about a chopped up and decomposed body being found in a Tesla registered in his name that was sitting in a Hollywood tow yard.

The Tesla found in L.A. with human body parts that had been chopped up and left in the trunk is being investigated by LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division, and the L.A. County Coroner is trying to determine both cause of death and whether the victim is male or female.

The LAPD tells TMZ, the Tesla, owned by singer D4vd, was left on a public street for more than 72 hours. The L.A. Department of Transportation impounded the vehicle last Friday, and we're told it had not been reported stolen.

The car was taken to a police garage in Hollywood. The garage staff noticed a noxious smell on Monday, opened the trunk and found the remains in a bag.

D4vd -- a popular singer with millions of streams -- is alive and well after a chopped up and heavily decomposed body was found in a Tesla registered to him that was sitting inside a Hollywood tow yard ... we've confirmed the body isn't his, and he's OK.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police are the ones who informed D4vd his Tesla was in an impound with a dead body inside, and he had no idea there was anything untoward going on.

We're told D4vd is fully cooperating with police as the investigation moves forward.
