Updating the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination Sunday, Utah Gov.

Updating the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination Sunday, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that the suspect was in a romantic relationship with his roommate, who is cooperating with authorities.

“What we have learned specifically is that this person did not have any knowledge, was shocked when they found out about it,” Cox said of the roommate.

That person “is a boyfriend who is transitioning from male to female,” Cox said. Cox was confirming earlier reporting from Fox News.

The roommate has been “very cooperative,” Cox said.

That tracks with what a federal official close to the investigation told NBC News on Sunday.
