Washington: Washington: Washington: The person arrested in the murder of right -wing Charlie Kirk is not cooperating with the authorities, but investigators are working with their friends and family to work to create a goal.
The accused gunman, 22 -year -old Tyler Robinson, will be formally charged on Tuesday, Cox said. He is in custody in Utah.
Investigators have not yet said that during the outdoor event, Robinson allegedly scored the roofs at Utah Valley University and shot Kirk in the neck in the long range on Wednesday.
President Donald Trump’s strict ally and co -founder of the Conservative Student Group Turning Point USA, Kirk, killed 3,000 people, Salt Lake Lake City, about 40 40 miles south (65 km), through a rifle shot.
The murder raised concerns over the increase in political violence in the United States and forever divided between the left and right.
Cox told the ABC program this week, Robinson has not admitted to investigators.
The Republican Governor said, “They are not cooperating, but all the people around him were cooperating, and I think this is very important.”
Referring to the FBI, Cox said that a man who is apparently talking to investigators is Robinson’s roommate, who was also a romantic partner. Cox described Rome Matt as a “male transfer in women”, and said that Rome Matt has been “incredibly co -operative”.
Reuters are unable to comment on the roommate, or roommate representatives. Reuters could not determine who was serving as Robinson’s legal representative.
Asked about CNN’s “State of the Union” program whether Rome Mate’s gender identification is related to investigation, Cox said, “We’re trying to find out now – it’s easy to draw conclusions, and so we have found shell cousings, other forensic evidence that are coming to come – and all those are trying to come.”
Investigators received engraving messages in four bullet maps, including memes and video games in these jokes.
In this case, the affidavit filed by the authorities has mentioned these messages. According to the affidavit, a look, read: “Hey fascist! Catch!” Then a collection of directional arrows, a clear reference to the continuation of the button press that pulls the bomb in a famous video game.
According to the affidavit, another template reads, “If you read this, you are gay lamino,” “short to laugh my ass.”
Kirk’s accusation, which often included anti -LGBT and anti -immigrant comments, attracted conservatives of conservatives, but also created strong feelings by liberals and widely criticized.
Robinson, a third -year student at the Electrical Apprenticeship Program at Ducky Technical College, a part of the Utah’s Public University System, was detained at his parents’ home in the southwest of about 260 miles (420 km) after a 33 -hour riot.
Investigators search for stimulus
Cox earlier said that relatives and a family friend warned the authorities that he had involved himself in the crime.
While Robinson was raised by religious parents in a deep conservative region of the state, “his theory was very different from his family,” Cox said in the NBC’s “Met the Press” program on Sunday, without any details.
State records show that Robinson was a registered voter but was not affiliated with any political party. One of the relatives told investigators that Robinson has increased more politically in recent years and once again discussed the dislike of Kirk from another family and from his point of view, according to the arrest warrant.
Cox said on Sunday that Robinson was Kirk’s “no fans”.
The murder has given rise to anger among the supporters of Kirk and condemned political violence in the ideological field.
Trump has blamed the “radical left” for Kirk’s death despite lack of evidence, even when he and his allies often make violent statements against their opponents.
“The problem is on the left,” Trump told reporters on Sunday. ” “Many people you will traditionally say are on the left … (are) already under investigation.”
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, who was facing a fire attack in April, said Trump was responsible for reducing the temperature.
“Violence is beyond the lines of the party – and the way to resolve it and to make a real peaceful debate is to speak with a moral explanation for the leaders, and to work with the president,” he said on social media.
Cox has accused social media, saying that in recent years he has played a “direct role” in every political assassination attempt.
Trump has given Kirk a support for young voters. Its turning point says it has more than 800 chapters on the college campus. On Friday, the widow of Kirk said the movement’s efforts would move forward.
His organization said a memorable program for Kirk will be held on September 21 in Glendel, Arizona.
