Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was found to be living with a transgender partner, according to senior FBI officials speaking with Fox News Digital.
The FBI confirmed that Tyler Robinson, 22, was in a “romantic relationship” with an individual transitioning from male to female while sharing an apartment in St. George, Utah. Officials noted that the individual is fully cooperating with the investigation.
Public records show that Lance Twiggs, 22, also resided in the same $1,800-per-month townhouse. Family members declined to comment on whether Twiggs and Robinson were in a relationship. His family members were also unaware of Twigg’s politics or whether he was transitioning to become a woman.
According to one FBI official, Robinson’s partner has been “extremely cooperative” and “had no idea” of Robinson’s intentions to assassinate the Turning Point USA founder. The individual is not facing any accusations of criminal activity in connection with the killing.
FBI sources told Fox that communications between Robinson and his partner helped agents track Robinson. Investigators have collected evidence from the apartment, including computers, which were sent to Quantico for further review.
The FBI declined to comment on whether Robinson’s partner could face criminal charges.
Just before Robinson shot Charlie Kirk, he was questioned by event attendee Hunter Kozak:
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”
Kirk responded, “Too many?”
The attendee followed up, “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?"
“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Charlie Kirk asked in clarification.
Moments later, the Turning Point USA founder was assassinated.
Law enforcement confirmed that Robinson’s father turned him in after recognizing him from FBI-released surveillance images made public during the 33-hour manhunt, ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel. Before doing so, Robinson’s father consulted with a minister at a local church.
The rifle found near the crime scene, believed by the FBI to have been used in the assassination, contained ammunition inscribed with anti-fascist messaging.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed the detail at a Friday news conference, stating that investigators discovered inscriptions on shell casings found with the bolt-action rifle near the campus.
