Utah governor says the motive in Kirk shooting is not yet certain but suspect was on left

Cox said Sunday that information comes from interviews with suspect Tyler Robinson's family and friends. The governor also said Robinson is not being cooperative in custody.

Cox also confirmed reports that Robinson was in a romantic relationship with his roommate, who is transgender. Cox stressed the roommate knew nothing of the attack and has been cooperating with law enforcement.
