New media reports indicate that Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk, was living with a man who considered himself transgender and identified as a woman.
At this point, the full extent of their relationship is unclear, although the New York Post referred to the individual living with Robinson as a “transgender partner” based on information from what the New York Post said was a law enforcement source.

“Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner, sources tell me,” she posted.
“The individual, who is a male transitioning to a female, is fully cooperating with the FBI,” she wrote.
“Sources tell me the FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter,” she posted.

Officials have not identified Robinson’s roommate.
The last question Charlie Kirk answered before he was murdered was:
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”
Charlie replied: “Too many.”
