Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed new information about the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s deadly shooting on Sunday. Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old with a “leftist ideology,” was identified as the suspect. Robinson had previously been living with a romantic partner who is transitioning and has cooperated with authorities. The motive behind the shooting is still unknown, but Cox said interviews with those close to Robinson have provided new clues. Authorities believe Robinson acted alone in the shooting that killed Kirk, a conservative activist and online provocateur. Robinson faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and discharge of a weapon causing serious bodily harm. The governor urged Americans to come together and disavow political violence, saying “we’re all in this together.”
