"The trans roommate and alleged "romantic partner" of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the death of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, did not know about the shooting, the governor of Utah has said. Kirk, known for his gun rights advocacy and anti-LGBTQ+ views, was shot in the neck while giving a talk at Utah Valley University on Wednesday (10 September). 22-year old Robinson was arrested two days later."
"Kirk, who was talking about "trans shooters" moments before he was gunned down, has been remembered by president Trump, who praised the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA). "No one understood or had the heart of the youth in the United States of America better than Charlie," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "He was loved and admired by all, especially me, and now he is no longer with us.""
"Tyler Robinson is being held on suspicion of aggravated murder, a felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury and obstruction of justice. Investigators said his father recognised Robinson from images released during a 33-hour manhunt, and had confronted his son. The father then spoke to a youth pastor, who called the police."
Charlie Kirk, 31, a right-wing influencer and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University on 10 September. Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested two days later and is held on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice. Utah governor Spencer Cox said Robinson's roommate and alleged romantic partner is transitioning from male to female and had no knowledge of the shooting. Investigators say Robinson's father identified him from released images, then contacted a youth pastor who called police. A motive remains unclear and Robinson is reportedly not cooperating.
