Charlie Kirk's alleged killer does not talk to investigators, but Tyler Robinson's roommate “is very cooperative”, says an American official

The man arrested in killing the right -wing activist Charlie Kirk does not cooperate with the authorities, but investigators are trying to establish the reason by discussing his friends and family, said Utah's governor, Spencer Cox, reports Reuters.

Cox said the suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, will be charged on Tuesday. He stays in arrest in Utah.

Investigators have not yet been able to establish why Robinson had climbed on Wednesday on Utah Valley's roof during an outdoor event and shot Kirk in the throat.

Kirk, a firm ally of President Donald Trump and co -founder of the Conservative Turning Point USA students, was killed by a single bullet pulled during the event attended by 3,000 people in about 65 km south of Salt Lake City.

Charlie Kirk's alleged killer did not recognize his deed

Kirk's killing has fueled fears about climbing political violence in the United States and a deeper division between the left and the right.

Robinson did not confess to investigators, Cox said in the ABC show “This Week”.

“He does not cooperate, but all the people around him cooperate, and I think this is very important,” said the Republican governor.

A person who seems to talk to investigators is Robinson's roommate, with whom he had a relationship, Cox said, quoting the FBI. Cox described the roommate as “a man in transition to the woman” and said he was “incredibly cooperative”.

Reuters states that he failed to locate his roommate or his representatives to request a comment. Also, the news agency could not determine who Robinson's legal representative is.

Asked in the show “State of the Union” from CNN if the gender identity of the room colleague is relevant to the investigation, Cox replied: “This is what we try to find out at this time … It is easy to draw conclusions, so we have the cartridges, other forensic evidence that arrives and we try to put all these things.”

Kirk's loaded rhetoric, which often included anti-LGBT and anti-immigrant comments, has attracted many conservatives, but also aroused strong feelings from the Liberals and has attracted broad-scale criticism.

Robinson, a third year student in the apprenticeship program in the field of electricity at the Technical College, part of the Utah's public university system, was arrested at his parents' house, about 260 miles (420 km) southwest of the crime, after a 33-hour search.

Investigators want to find out the reason

Relatives and a family friend alerted the authorities that he was involved in the crime, said COX before. Although Robinson was raised by religious parents in a deeply conservative region of the state, “his ideology was very different from that of his family,” Cox said on Sunday in the show “Meet the Press” of the NBC, without going into details.

The state documents show that Robinson was registered as a voter, but was not affiliated with any political party. A relative told investigators that Robinson had become more interested in politics in recent years and that he had discussed with another family member of their dislike of Kirk and his views, according to the arrest warrant.

Robinson “wasn't a fan” of Kirk, Cox said on Sunday. The crime has aroused indignation among Kirk's supporters and the condemnation of political violence throughout the ideological spectrum.

Trump blamed the “radical left” for Kirk's death, despite the lack of evidence, even though he and his allies often invoked the violent rhetoric against their opponents.

“The problem is to the left,” Trump told reporters on Sunday. “Many people that you would traditionally consider to be left … (they are already) investigated.”

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, a democrat who was the victim of an attack in April, said that Trump has the obligation to calm the spirits.

“Violence transcends the lines of the parties – and the way of approaching and having a true peaceful debate is for leaders to speak and act with moral clarity. This must start with the president,” he said on social networks.
