Tyler Robinson

Tyler Robinson, the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk, had a live-in transgender partner. The yet-to-be identified individual was reportedly questioned by FBI, according to reports. Authorities stated, Robinson fired a rifle shot from atop a building at another university campus, killing conservative influencer Charlie Kirk and triggering a new round of national anxiety over rising political violence. Investigators are still working to understand what allegedly led Robinson to that rooftop. Officials have not yet identified a precise motive for the shooting, though they have offered some clues.

Robinson was arrested for aggravated murder and other charges. He has no criminal history, according to state records reviewed by Reuters.

He was a registered voter but was not affiliated with a political party, according to voter records. He is listed as an "inactive" voter, which indicates he did not cast a ballot in last year's presidential election, when Republican Donald Trump defeated Democrat Kamala Harris.

Charlie Kirk on Transgender People


Moments before he was killed at a Utah university on Wednesday, Charlie Kirk was taking a question about transgender people and mass shootings. “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” the event attendee asked. “Too many,” Kirk replied.

Kirk's rhetoric, which often involved anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant comments, engendered strong feelings.

While many of his views on trans rights and LGBTQ rights, abortion, immigration, affirmative action and gun control reflected today’s mainstream Republican Party, others were more aligned with the party's far-right faction, such as blaming Black people for crime and claiming the left is using Islam to destroy America.
