A neighbor’s eyewitness account of suspicious activity at accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson’s Utah residence, which he shared with a transgender boyfriend, has raised suspicions about possible involvement from out-of-state radicals.
Robinson is accused of shooting Kirk, 31, moments after the Turning Point USA founder addressed a question on transgender mass shooters.
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” leftist attendee Hunter Kozak asked Kirk before the single gunshot that would take his life rang out.
Investigators are now reportedly digging into Robinson’s connections, including his relationship with 22-year-old Lance Twiggs, who is transitioning from male to female and has been cooperating with the FBI.
The pair shared a modest $1,800-a-month townhouse in St. George, Utah, which was raided by law enforcement on Friday.
A neighbor, speaking on condition of anonymity to The New York Post, reported seeing several people driving vehicles with out-of-state license plates entering and exiting the home approximately two weeks before the shooting.
“They did not give off a good vibe,” the neighbor said.
According to a report from Axios late Saturday evening, citing six sources familiar with the case, “Federal and state law enforcement officials also are examining leftist groups in Utah to see whether they had knowledge of the alleged shooter’s plans beforehand, or if they lent material support to him afterward.”
The report states that one of the groups deleted their social media account after the shooting took place.
“It’s pretty clear that Robinson’s roommate knew a lot and didn’t say anything after the killing, so they’re a person of interest officially and are cooperating,” an official told the outlet. “We want to keep it that way.”
“What we want to know is if anyone else had knowledge [of the shooting], before or after,” that source added.
This witness’s comment and Axios report have fueled speculation about whether Robinson was part of a larger network, possibly radicalized by left-wing ideologies, particularly because multiple posts on social media from at least six people involved with the transgender community appeared to boast of advance knowledge of the crime.
