Utah Governor: Suspect in Charlie Kirk Shooting Not Cooperating as Motive Probed. Utah Governor Spencer Cox says the 22-year-old man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk is refusing to cooperate with investigators. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, is due to be formally charged and remains in custody. Authorities are still searching for a motive after Robinson allegedly climbed onto a rooftop at Utah Valley University last week and fired a single rifle shot that killed Kirk in front of 3,000 people. Investigators say Robinson's roommate — described as a romantic partner — has been fully cooperating. Forensic evidence includes bullet casings etched with memes and gaming references, one of which mocked Kirk with the phrase: "Hey fascist! CATCH!”. Robinson was arrested after a 33-hour manhunt when relatives alerted police. Governor Cox noted his views differed sharply from his conservative family. The killing has ignited fierce debate over political violence in the U.S., with Donald Trump and other Republicans blaming the left, while leaders across the spectrum urge calm. A memorial for Kirk is planned in Arizona later this month.
