The assassination of 31-year-old Charlie Kirk, known to be openly transphobic, took a new turn Saturday as it was revealed that the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, has a trans partner. The Daily Mail revealed the name of the trans partner -- transforming from a man to a woman -- as Lance Twiggs. According to the report, Twiggs lived with Tyler Robinson in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah.
Twiggs is the person who received text messages from Tyler after the shooting about stashing a gun. Twiggs' grandfather Jerry Twiggs told Daily Mail that he was unable to comment on rumours that Twiggs is trans and there was a transgender motive to Kirk's murder. He also said he never met Robinson but he confirmed that his grandchild had been talking with the police.
Authorities are yet to confirm a motive, but Utah Governor Spencer Cox told the Wall Street Journal that Robinson was, 'deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology'.
Who is Lance Twiggs ?
South Utah native, Twiggs, studied at Utah Tech University, according to his Facebook page. Robinson, 22, was also taking electrician training at a nearby technical college. Like Tyler, Twiggs is also an avid gamer. He posted himself on social media playing popular games including Apex Legends, Valorant and Rocket League. Other comical videos he shared included adding spaghetti to an Italian sandwich and microwaving a bottle of Mountain Dew. Friends told the Daily Mail that Robinson and Twiggs were part of a large group chat of dozens of gamer friends mostly from Robinson’s alma mater, Pine View High School, hosted on online chat network Discord.
Twiggs, however, has not been named in the affidavit that the police filed supporting the murder, obstruction and felony firearm charges against Robinson. "The messages also refer to engraving bullets, and a mention of a scope and the rifle being unique," the affidavit said. "Messages from the contact Tyler also mention that he had changed outfits."
