Utah Governor Spencer Cox says the accused shooter in the Charlie Kirk killing is refusing to assist investigators, even as those close to him share information.
The investigation into the shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has hit a wall. Utah Governor Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday that the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, is not cooperating with authorities. Despite facing formal charges including aggravated murder and obstruction of justice, Robinson has reportedly withheld all input since being taken into custody.
While the suspect remains silent, investigators are drawing on testimony from Robinson’s friends, family members, and his roommate — all of whom are cooperating — to piece together his movements and potential motives. Cox pointed to Robinson’s ideological leanings and recent political shifts as possible context, but officials stress that no clear motive has been established.
Robinson is being held without bail and is expected in court this week. Until then, the investigation is likely to rely on circumstantial evidence and outside testimony, leaving the central question of motive unanswered.
