According to the FBI, "extended network" could have helped alleged shooter Tyler Robinson carry out the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Pro-trans online groups, sexualized animal-obsessed "furries," people providing financial help and others may have "aided and abetted" 22-year-old Robinson, authorities said.
FBI's Intense Investigation Details
FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency is dedicating every asset to tracking Tyler Robinson's contacts.
FBI Director Kash Patel revealed the agency is "dedicating every asset" to reaching out to "anyone he [Robinson] contacted, called and text-messaged and had chats online [on] social media platforms with."
Robinson – who's been charged with several counts, including aggravated murder, and is facing the death penalty – dropped "multiple warning signs" that he was plotting to kill Kirk – a 31-year-old father of two and Turning Point USA founder – at Utah Valley University on September 10, added FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
Law enforcement reportedly is probing several groups, including the online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down its Instagram after Kirk was killed.

The logo for Armed Queers SLC, a far-left group, features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk – and it's believed Robinson was recently radicalized by far-left politics, according to insiders.
Authorities are also investigating Robinson's apparent online confession and a cell phone call he reportedly made shortly after Kirk's shooting, sources said.
Robinson apparently confessed to Kirk's murder in a chat message to friends that was purportedly sent through the online community Discord, sources said.
