Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday.
That individual, who has yet to be publicly identified by the authorities, is fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman.
According to public records, Lance Twiggs, 22, resided at the same address where Robinson lived. A relative of Twiggs confirmed to The Post Saturday that “yes, they were roommates.”

The family member, who asked not to be identified, said Twiggs was the “black sheep” of their St. George, Utah, family, but declined to speculate on a romantic relationship between the two men.
She said she didn’t know her relative’s politics or whether Twiggs was transitioning to become a woman, but added that it wouldn’t surprise her.
The family member said she knew Twiggs was brought in for questioning by police. The Post observed Saturday that no one was at the $1,800-per-month townhouse Robinson and Twiggs were believed to have shared.
A neighbor claimed that two weeks ago, several people, driving cars with out-of-state plates, were seen going in and out. “They did not give off a good vibe,” the neighbor said.
Kirk, 31, was struck in the neck by a single bullet shortly after being posed a question about transgender mass shooters at his American Comeback Tour college speaking engagement.
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” asked attendee Hunter Kozak. (Read more: New York Post, 9/12/2025) (Archive)
A 22-year-old wannabe professional gamer who lived with Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin gave cops incriminating text messages leading to his arrest.
Lance Twiggs turned over Tyler Robinson, who lived with him in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah, Daily Mail can reveal.
Twiggs showed police texts from Robinson about stashing a gun linked to Wednesday’s shooting of the prominent conservative activist at Utah Valley University (UVU), a law enforcement affidavit said.
His identity was revealed as separate reports emerged from Fox and the New York Post which stated that Robinson was living with a ‘transgender partner’ who is co-operating with the investigation.
(…) 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.
And like Robinson he was an avid gamer, posting shooting game videos on a TikTok account with the bio: ‘Becoming TikTok pros one terrible video at a time.’
(…) Friends told 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.
Robinson’s alleged incriminating texts to Twiggs were also sent on Discord, according to the affidavit filed Friday.
(…) Investigators were seen carrying out paper bags, envelopes, and a personal computer. A forensics team photographed the exterior and worked their way inside the property.
(…) An affidavit supporting the murder, obstruction, and felony firearm charges against Robinson described the roommate handing over bombshell text messages to police after the shooting.
Robinson sent messages to Twiggs, who was not named in the law enforcement filing, ‘stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point’, according to the affidavit by Utah Attorney General’s officer Brian Davis.
Robinson allegedly texted about ‘leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left, and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel.’
‘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.’ (Read more: The Daily Mail, 9/13/2025) (Archive)
