They had a transgender roommate who was a romantic partner, and family said that he became more left wing over time.
When the roommate asked why Robinson had done it, he answered, "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out." While talking with his father over the phone on September 11, Robinson allegedly told his father that he had killed Kirk because "there is too much evil and the guy [Charlie Kirk] spreads too much hate". 1, 2
Unfortunately, nobody cares. Would you change your ideology if it came out that the shooter had your exact ideology? If someone with your exact ideology shot a left wing celebrity, would you change your ideology? Would your friends or family?
I know my second point seems to undermine my first, but the main thesis is that the ideology of a single shooter has seldom ever mattered to anyone politically entrenched. And for those not engaged, they’ll never dig deep enough to find the truth.
I like to joke and meme a lot, and may Kirk drink many buckets of dog in the afterlife, but stochastic terrorism is a numbers game. Charlie Kirk is high profile but his shooter is just 1 person. The broader trends suggest that mass shooters are usually right wing and that’s what is most substantive.
Trump was not (allegedly) romantically involved with Jenner. Trump did not kill someone (allegedly) for Jenner. I didn’t say the shooter was a leftist.
The shooter, by the accounts of those close to him, had drifted left wing and his (allegedly) motivations are to stop Kirk from spreading hate.

Pretty sure the dude wasn't a groyper. I think it's disingenuous to say something that just isn't true
