Reports: Tyler Robinson Lived With Transgender Partner Cooperating With FBI in Kirk Shooting Probe

Media accounts say a live-in partner working with investigators shared communications that helped identify the 22-year-old suspect.

Overview

  • Fox News correspondent Brooke Singman reported the partner is cooperating with the FBI and that agents reviewed texts and other communications linking Robinson to the shooting.
  • Neighbors told The Sun that Robinson lived at a nearby condo with a roommate described as the transgender partner.
  • Authorities previously said a roommate provided messages referencing meme-engraved shell casings like those found at the scene and plans to retrieve a rifle from a drop point.
  • Officials confirmed Friday that Robinson was arrested and is being held without bail on accusations including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm.
  • Kirk was fatally shot during a Q&A at Utah Valley University, where the final question posed referenced transgender Americans and mass shooters.
