Who Is Tyler Robinson's Roommate? Alleged Trans Partner Helping Police [View all]

Source: Newsweek

By Khaleda Rahman
National Correspondent

Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, lived with a romantic partner who is transgender and cooperating with authorities, Utah Governor Spencer Cox has said. "The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female," Cox said during an appearance on CNN on Sunday. "This partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening."

(snip) President Donald Trump sparked criticism after he blamed the "radical left" for Kirk's death before any details about the suspect or a motive were known. Liberals have since touted Robinson's conservative roots amid speculation about his political beliefs.

(snip) The identity of Robinson's roommate has not been disclosed by authorities. Robinson's roommate has not been charged with a crime, and authorities have not released their name.

"This person did not have any knowledge" of the attack and "was shocked when they found out about it," Cox said on NBC's Meet the Press.
