SUMMARY: Tyler Robinson, 22, accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, exhibited left-leaning politics and engaged deeply with “dark corners of the internet,” Utah Governor Spencer Cox said. Investigators are still determining Robinson’s motive; he disliked Kirk and may have been radicalized online. Kirk, founder of Turning Points USA and a Trump confidant, was widely mourned, including at a vigil at the Kennedy Center. Robinson’s personal background includes a transgender partner and poor cooperation with police. Tributes emphasized Kirk’s religious faith and activism, with supporters vowing to continue his conservative movement despite the attack.
