Tyler Robinson in Custody for Charlie Kirk Killing, Refuses Cooperation in Utah

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, remains in custody and is not cooperating with authorities, according to Utah Governor Spencer Cox. Robinson, who lived with his boyfriend Lance Twiggs—who is transitioning from male to female and has cooperated with investigators—has not confessed to the crime, although those close to him have been cooperating. Robinson's recent ideological shift towards leftist views contrasts with his conservative family background, and investigators continue to search for a motive behind the attack, which occurred during a public debate at Utah Valley University. The assassination has sparked national reflection on political violence, with prominent conservative leaders and members of the Trump administration expected to attend a memorial service honoring Kirk. Governor Cox emphasized the need for the country to assess the current state of civil discourse following the shooting. Despite the suspect's silence, law enforcement continues to piece together evidence from the crime scene and digital communications provided by Robinson's partner.
