Authorities say digital communications between Tyler Robinson and a 22-year-old roommate, Lance Twiggs, were instrumental in tracking down the suspected shooter in the death of political activist Charlie Kirk.
Senior FBI officials confirmed Robinson lived in St. George, Utah, with a partner identified as a transgender woman. Investigators say the partner is cooperating and faces no allegations at this time. Agents obtained text messages and other communications between Robinson and the partner; those exchanges helped agents locate Robinson. Electronics seized from the apartment were sent to Quantico for analysis.
