"That information comes from the people around him, his family members and friends. Cox said Robinson, 22, is not cooperating and that friends paint a picture of someone radicalized in the dark corners of the internet. Clearly there was a lot of gaming going on, Cox said on NBC. Friends have confirmed that there was kind of that deep, dark internet, the Reddit culture, and these other dark places of the internet where this person was going deep."
"The governor said the suspect's partner was transgender, which some politicians have pointed to as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk for his anti-trans views. But authorities have not said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson's motive. The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female, Cox said. I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening."
Investigators have not yet determined a motive for the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, has left-leaning beliefs and is not cooperating with authorities. Friends and family reportedly describe Robinson as radicalized in online communities and gaming culture, including Reddit. Cox said the suspect's roommate was a transgender romantic partner who has cooperated with investigators, though authorities have not confirmed if that relationship is relevant to motive. Robinson is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday and the investigation is ongoing.
