Cox said the suspect’s partner was transgender, which some politicians
have pointed to as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk, the founder of
Turning Points USA, for his anti-trans views. But authorities have not
said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson’s motive.

“The roommate was a romantic partner, a male transitioning to female,”
Cox said. “I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this
partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was
happening.”

Investigators have spoken to Robinson’s relatives and carried out a
search warrant at his family’s home in Washington, about 240 miles
(390 kilometers) southwest of Utah Valley University, where the
shooting took place.

State records show Robinson is registered to vote but not affiliated
with a political party and is listed as inactive, meaning he did not
vote in the two most recent general elections. His parents are
registered Republicans.
