The FBI has reportedly widened its investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to include radical leftist groups in Utah to determine whether they helped the suspect or had foreknowledge of his plan.

Several transgender social media accounts made self-incriminating comments before and after suspect Tyler Robinson murdered Kirk at a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10. The ammunition inside the rifle used to shoot Kirk was engraved with cryptic messages of transgender and antifascist ideology.

Robinson was arrested on Friday in connection with the murder after his father persuaded him to turn himself in.  The 22-year-old is reportedly not cooperating with investigators. “He has not confessed to authorities. He is not cooperating, but all the people around him are cooperating. And I think that’s very important,” Utah Governor Spencer Cox said on ABC’s “This Week,” Sunday.

According to the New York Post, the probe includes groups within the online gaming community Steam, as well as an organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram right after Kirk was killed.

Utah group Armed Queens SLC, whose logo features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk, hosted a lecture on “queer resistance” at the University of Utah in September, 2023 — around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally lost his life.

Flyers promoting the event hosted in partnership with self-described “leftist student organization” Mecha de U of U obtained by Young America’s Foundation feature a young woman clad in two ammo belts and clutching an AK-47, with her finger on the trigger.

Armed Queers SLC was handing out flyers since 2023 at the very campus where Charlie Kirk was assassinated and they call it an armed revolution.

The flyer includes a prominent hammer and sickle, as well as a rainbow flag, and includes the words “agitate, educate, organize.”

A representative for Armed Queers SLC told Voyage Utah last year, in response to a question about risk-taking, “Our commitment to something much bigger than ourselves, to people’s struggles against racism, transphobia, and capitalism, means much more to us than any risk.”

Among the group’s “six principles” is “the armed and militant protection of queer and trans communities, and all oppressed people.”

Robinson’s trans/furry boyfriend Lance Twiggs “has been incredibly cooperative” and supposedly “had no idea that this was happening,” according to Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R).

The two reportedly lived in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, where Robinson was enrolled as a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College. Robinson had previously attended Utah State University in 2021 on an academic scholarship, but dropped out after one semester.

A relative of Twiggs told Wisconsin Right Now they stopped associating with Twiggs  about four years ago because he had become “angry with anyone who is supportive of conservative ideals and Christian values.”

The relative told WRN they had heard from other family members that Lance had “wished horrible things on people. I’ve really distanced. There was (allegedly) evil inside and only getting worse.”

An individual who goes by “churbum75m SAW TYLER JUNE 30” on TikTok posted “WE F-CKING DID IT” on the platform moments after Kirk’s death and has since posted numerous comments celebrating the  assassination. Tyler Robinson used an older model imported Mauser .30-06 caliber bolt action rifle to shoot Kirk.

That TikTok account is followed by Twiggs, whose username on the platform is “Ianclotl,” according to Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium.

X user @najragalvz1, with the handle “Omar,” posted on Sept. 9  that Kirk was coming to his college (Utah Valley University) and said “i rlly hope someone evaporates him literally. He followed up with another post predicting “Let’s just say something big will happen tomorrow.”

Omar, whose X account is temporarily restricted, says in his bio: “I’m not the shooter. Launching a token in Charlie’s legacy all proceeds go to @Everytown. His death must not be without consequence.”

EveryTown is a non-profit organization that advocates for gun control.

“There will be consequences. Charlie Kirk’s death cannot remain unanswered,” Omar writes in the one post that remains on his X account. “Our community is united to bring truth into the light. We will launch a token dedicated to exposing lies, funding transparency, and seeking justice. Stay alert. Don’t fall for scams. Justice is coming.” The words were accompanied by images blaming Israel for 9/11 and the Kirk assassination.

Governor Cox told ABC News that Robinson spent large amounts of time scrolling the “dark corners of the internet.”

Robinson and Twiggs were allegedly part of a large group chat on Discord  made up of mostly gamer friends from Robinson’s  high school.

The New York Times, which obtained some of their Discord messages, reported that following the assassination, one user on the platform shared the surveillance photos released by the FBI and tagging Robinson’s username, wrote “wya” (where you at) accompanied by a skull emoji.

Robinson fired back almost instantly: “My doppelganger’s trying to get me in trouble,” he replied.

“Tyler killed Charlie!!!!” another user wrote in the group chat on Thursday afternoon, tagging Robinson.

Cox confirmed to ABC News that investigators determined Robinson had joked with his friends on Discord after they noticed he resembled Kirk’s shooter.
“Those conversations definitely were happening,” the governor said. “And they did not believe it was actually him – it was all joking until he admitted that it actually was him.”

On Monday, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that Robinson left behind a note saying he was going to “take out” Kirk before the assassination.

“‘I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it,’ the suspect said,” Kash Patel told Fox and Friends. “The note was written before the shooting, it was in the suspect’s partner’s home,” Patel added. “We have since learned the note – even though it was destroyed – we have found forensic evidence of the note and we have confirmed what the note said because our aggressive interview posture at the FBI.”

Patel also revealed that Robinson’s DNA was found at the shooting site, as well as on the towel that covered the murder weapon after it was ditched in the woods.

Family and friends of the suspect had previously described his politics as veering left in recent years.
