Federal investigators have revealed that the suspect accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk lived with a transgender partner in Utah who is now cooperating with authorities. According to senior FBI sources, Tyler Robinson, 22, shared an apartment in St. George with the partner, who is not accused of any wrongdoing.
Robinson was taken into custody following the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University. Sources told Fox News that the transgender partner, identified as male transitioning to female, has provided information to investigators and assisted in clarifying Robinson’s activities before the attack. Text messages and communications between the two reportedly played a role in narrowing the FBI’s investigation and identifying Robinson as the suspect.
Agents executed search warrants at the apartment shared by Robinson and the partner, seizing computers and other electronic devices. The equipment has been transported to FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia, for forensic analysis. Officials are examining whether Robinson acted entirely alone or if he was influenced by broader ideological motivations.
The partner told authorities they had no prior knowledge of Robinson’s alleged plan and emphasized that they were not involved in the crime. The FBI has confirmed that the individual is cooperating fully and has not been charged.
The revelation adds another layer to a case that has shocked political and faith communities across the country. Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was a prominent voice for conservative and Christian values. His assassination has sparked widespread calls for accountability and renewed attention to politically motivated violence targeting public figures.
While details continue to unfold, the FBI has not released information suggesting a larger conspiracy. Investigators remain focused on Robinson’s background, digital communications, and potential ideological influences that may have led to the attack.
