"The Utah governor, Spencer Cox, on Sunday told national talkshows that the man suspected of killing Turning Point USA executive director Charlie Kirk was living with and in a relationship with a person transitioning from male to female as investigators continue exploring a possible motive in the attack. The Republican politician's comments came four days after Kirk a critic of gay and transgender rights was shot to death from a distance with a rifle"
"Citing the content of investigators' interviews with people close to Robinson, Cox said we do know that the [suspect's] roommate is a [partner] who is transitioning from male to female. I will say that that person has been very cooperative with authorities, Cox remarked to Meet the Press host Kristen Welker, referring to the roommate. And the why behind this we're all drawing lots of conclusions on how someone like this could be radicalized."
Spencer Cox said investigators found that the man accused of killing Turning Point USA executive director Charlie Kirk lived with and was in a relationship with a person transitioning from male to female. Charlie Kirk, a critic of gay and transgender rights, was shot to death from a distance with a rifle during an event at Utah Valley University while speaking about mass shootings and trans people. The accused, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, surrendered after a two-day manhunt and is not cooperating with authorities. Investigators are interviewing family and acquaintances and say the roommate has been cooperative. Cox said motive remains unconfirmed and investigators are exploring radicalization and ideological differences.
