The man who allegedly shot Charlie Kirk has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.

Robinson was partly turned in by a youth pastor. Tyler had allegedly confessed to the murder to his father, who urged his son to turn himself in. Our sources say Tyler initially refused, saying he'd rather commit suicide, but then changed his mind. We're told the father then contacted the youth pastor -- who also works with the U.S. Marshals -- for assistance. Our sources say the pastor then called the Marshals and the FBI.

Robinson lives in Utah and has been on the run since Kirk's assassination Wednesday.

Kendall Jenner's making it hard to keep up with her these days ... and, we mean that literally 'cause she was zooming around the water at a lake in a tiny bikini!

The person of interest in the Charlie Kirk assassination appeared to be a man on a mission, but he may have had a moment of clarity that briefly stopped him minutes before the fatal shooting of the Turning Point USA founder.

TMZ obtained new footage of the man dressed in black limping past the front of a home in Orem, UT, at 11:51 AM Wednesday -- as he headed for the Utah Valley University campus.

The man seems to be concealing a long gun under his pants as he goes past the house and turns right at the property line, starting down a grassy path toward the campus.

Officials have conducted a raid at the Costa Rican hotel where former New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner's son, Miller, died ... as investigators look into whether the matter is a manslaughter case.

According to ESPN -- which spoke to prosecutor Kenneth Alvarez -- a three-hour search of the Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort in Manuel Antonio took place on Thursday to collect more evidence -- both physical and digital.

Look what Blake Lively made Taylor Swift do ... the pop star is set to give evidence in her former best friend's legal war with Justin Baldoni, TMZ has learned.

Per the docs, Baldoni's camp asks the court to modify the scheduling order to accommodate Tay's deposition ... noting the Grammy winner is not able to testify before October 20th.

Remember, Swift got dragged into the Lively-Baldoni "It Ends With Us" drama when the actress allegedly referred to the singer as one of her "dragons" in a text after a heated meeting between BL and JB ... this text was exposed in Baldoni's $400 million countersuit.
