After being named the primary suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson became a highly publicized figure on the internet this month. His alleged involvement in the death of the late 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder sparked extensive interest in his personal life. Details about Robinson’s family and his alleged partner, who is reportedly transgender, have come to light.
Moments before Kirk was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, an audience member asked how many recent mass shooters were transgender. Kirk responded by claiming, “Too many,” and was struck by a bullet shortly thereafter.
Public figures from both political sides have called for justice and condemned the individual behind Kirk’s murder.
During an interview with Fox News on September 12, 2025, Donald Trump stated that Robinson’s father had turned him into the authorities.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him — in custody,” Trump said, adding that “everyone did a great job we worked with the local police, the governor, everybody did a great job. … And somebody that was very close to him said ‘hm, that’s him’ and essentially went to the father, went to a US Marshal.”
