Tyler Robinson arrested as the prime suspect in Charlie Kirk shooting
Authorities arrested a 22-year-old man named Tyler Robinson on Friday at his family home in Washington County after days of speculation. His father, Matt, reportedly approached a church minister, who contacted the sheriff’s office, which eventually led to his capture. According to Discord messages, Robinson admitted to stashing a rifle wrapped in a towel in bushes near the university, which matched the firearm that was later recovered. Authorities booked him into the Utah County jail on suspicion of aggravated murder, firearm discharge, and obstruction of justice.
Tyler Robinson was a standout student and had a “squeaky clean” reputation
Tyler Robinson was born in 2003 and reportedly had a spotless record, having earned a 34 on the ACT exam. He was placed among the top 1% of students nationwide and briefly attended Utah State University on scholarship before enrolling in Dixie Technical College’s electrical apprenticeship program. Tyler’s grandmother described him as “squeaky clean,” while neighbors recalled him as a respectful and considerate young man who “never caused problems.” Moreover, public records confirm that Tyler had no prior convictions or violent offenses.
Undeclared but growing political stance
According to reports, Tyler Robinson had no party affiliation and had not voted in recent elections. Despite this, his family told investigators that he had grown more political recently and had allegedly criticized Kirk as “full of hate and spreading hate”. During a dinner just a few days before the shooting. Police also reported finding ammunition in his rifle that carried anti-fascist engravings and included references to the Italian protest song Bella Ciao alongside obscure online memes. As such, the details suggest that Tyler was undergoing a sudden radicalization, although his exact motive still remains unclear.
Tyler Robinson and his family don’t look like trans liberals to me. Tyler’s family is registered republicans, his father is a minister and former law enforcement, they have family members in the military. Oh and Tyler’s parents introduced him to weapons at an early age. pic.twitter.com/czf9iNFCbM

Tyler Robinson, a biological male who is a Christian by religion is a 22-year-old Utah resident who has emerged as the main suspect in the recent Charlie Kirk shooting. After authorities identified him as the main suspect, Utah Governor Spencer Cox confirmed Robinson’s age and local background. However, he declined to provide any further details on his personal history while the investigation unfolded.
Tyler lives in a six-bedroom home valued at around $600,000 in Washington, Utah with his family registered Republicans.
His mother Amber previously attended the University of Utah and works for Intermountain Support Coordination Services.
Several news outlets recently reported that the Charlie Kirk shooter, Tyler Robinson, was living with a transgender partner named Lance Twiggs who is now cooperating with the FBI. According to the sources, the reports came up after authorities investigated their texts and private communications. Meanwhile, Fox News’ Brooke Singman also backed that claim on X, stating that her sources confirmed the FBI relied on those exchanges to link Robinson to the crime. Interestingly, Newsmax host Rob Schmitt went a step further and claimed that former President Trump told him the “Kirk assassin has a trans girlfriend.”
Despite the wave of media reports and accusations, federal investigators have not publicly confirmed whether Robinson had a transgender partner. As of now, the FBI also remains tight-lipped about the situation, releasing no official statement about his personal relationships but many claim that Tyler and Lance were dating for one year with a relative of Twiggs saying that he is Robinson’s boyfriend. “They did live together,” the family member said, adding, “ I knew he had a boyfriend. I never met him. None of us had.”
Twiggs was in the process of transitioning from male to female and the 22-year-old is an aspiring professional gamer and was living with Tyler Robinson as a roommate. Twiggs comes from a conservative Christian family in Utah and is transitioning from male to female.
