Cox said the accused, Tyler Robinson, appeared to follow a “leftist ideology” despite growing up in a conservative family.

Robinson once seemed like a “normal young man,” but the governor believes he was later radicalized after leaving college.

The suspect reportedly spent much of his time in online gaming and dark internet message boards before the shooting.

Cox said Robinson’s romantic partner, who is transitioning, was shocked by the attack and is fully cooperating with police.

The suspect’s motive remains unclear, but officials are examining his online activity, ideology, and personal relationships.

Investigators also found unfired bullets engraved with online meme references, raising more questions about his beliefs.
