Share this @internewscast.com

The suspect accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk is currently being held on a special watch inside a Utah jail. 

Authorities in the Beehive State are keeping a close eye on 22-year-old Tyler Robinson to determine if he is a risk to himself or others. 

Robinson is presently incarcerated in the Utah County Jail. According to Sgt. Raymond Ormond, speaking to CBS, Robinson is under special surveillance within the facility.

Sgt. Ormond stated that Robinson is in a particular housing unit following his arrest for allegedly shooting Kirk on a university campus in Utah.

Robinson was turned in to police by his father and a minister in southern Utah after images of a person of interest were shared by authorities. 

Federal sources also told the outlet that Robinson had previously said he would kill himself rather than turn himself into investigators.  

He was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm, and obstruction of justice. 

Reports reveal that at the time of Robinson’s arrest, he was living with a transgender partner, who is now assisting FBI agents in their investigation into Kirk’s death.

Senior federal officials told Fox that Robinson was in a romantic relationship with the unnamed person, a male transitioning to a female. 

The two shared an apartment together in Saint George, Utah, with the person said to have had ‘no idea’ of what Robinson was allegedly planning. 

The partner is said to have provided text messages allegedly from Robinson, sent after Kirk was shot in the neck.

A source said: ‘The shooter was living with a transgender man who was transitioning from male to female.

‘The status of their relationship isn’t known. They were friends who enjoyed playing video games together.

‘The transgender individual is co-operating fully with police and is not considered a suspect.’

According to a report by Axios that also emerged on Saturday, the roommate was ‘aghast’ when speaking to investigators. 

The outlet reported them as telling agents: ‘That’s what happened? Oh my God. Here are all the messages.’

Lance Twiggs, who lived with Tyler Robinson in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, turned Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin over to police

The texts reportedly include a sender identified as Tyler, mentioning wrapping a rifle in a towel and hiding it in bushes near the shooting location.

The Daily Mail exclusively reported earlier on Saturday that Robinson was living with Lance Twiggs, 22, in a three-bedroom apartment. 

It is unclear if Twiggs is the same person referenced in the reports and he has not been named in the affidavit. 

Robinson’s grandfather, Jerry Twiggs, informed the Daily Mail that he couldn’t address the speculations about Robinson’s gender identity or any related motives in Kirk’s death.

‘I don’t want to comment on that. I’m not sure what his situation is exactly right now,’ he said, adding that he had never met Robinson. 

Friends told Daily Mail that Robinson and Twiggs were part of a large group chat  of gamer friends mostly from Robinson’s alma mater, Pine View High School, hosted on online chat network Discord.

Robinson’s alleged incriminating texts to Twiggs were also sent on Discord, according to the affidavit filed Friday.

Kirk is to be remembered at a largescale memorial service inside the home of the Arizona Cardinals next weekend.  

Turning Point USA, his organization, announced that his supporters will be able to pay their final respects on Sunday September 21 inside State Farm Stadium.

In a post to their social media pages, they invited his supporters to join in ‘celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy’ of the conservative activist. 

The stadium, located in Glendale, has a fixed seating capacity of 63,400 which can be expanded to as much as 73,000 for larger events. 

It remains unclear at this time what private family funeral services will follow the largescale event. 

President Trump said earlier this week that he was going to attend the service after addressing the nation following the death of Kirk. 

His wife Erika promised to continue the political movement her husband started in a video message she issued on Friday evening.

‘Charlie, I promise I will never let your legacy die, baby,’ she said. ‘I promise I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen.’
