Investigators are piecing together information about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man accused of fatally shooting Christian conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and whether the suspect’s relationship with his trans-identifying roommate was a factor in the killing.

Robinson allegedly fired a shot at the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder from a rooftop as he debated students at Utah Valley University last Wednesday. Authorities took the suspect into custody following a 33-hour manhunt, charging him with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm and obstruction of justice.

Here are five things we know about Robinson.
