Charlie Kirk killing: What we know about suspect Tyler Robinson's motives
"On Friday, Utah Governor Spencer Cox named Robinson as the person suspected of fatally shooting Kirk. Robinson is a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship programme at Dixie Technical College in St George, Utah. State records from Utah showed that Robinson is a registered voter in the state, but he is not affiliated with any political party. He did not vote in the two most recent general elections when he was of voting age."
"Robinson's listed address is his parents' home near St George, about a 3.5-hour drive from Utah Valley University. Robinson's parents are both registered Republicans. Other family members have spoken in news interviews about how the extended family too is Republican. On social media platforms, some of Robinson's photos show him holding guns. But in an affidavit filed by prosecutors against Robinson after his arrest, they said a family member had told them that he had become more political in recent years."
