OREM, UTAH: Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, was living with a transgender partner who was allegedly in the process of transitioning from male to female, according to reports.

The individual, whose name has not been publicly released but was identified as Lance Twiggs in a New York Post report, is said to be fully cooperating with investigators.



 

FBI had texts between Tyler Robinson and the trans individual regarding Charlie Kirk's shooting

Fox News correspondent Brooke Singman reported that the individual “is fully cooperating with the FBI.”

She added that “FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter,” Singman said.

According to public records, 22-year-old Lance Twiggs resided at the same address as Robinson. A relative of Twiggs confirmed to The Post, “Yes, they were roommates.”

Relative describes Lance Twiggs as 'black sheep' of family

The family member, who did not wish to be identified, described Lance Twiggs as the “black sheep” of their St George, Utah, family.

The relative declined to speculate on a romantic relationship between the two.

She also said she did not know her relative’s politics or whether Twiggs was transitioning to become a woman, but added, “It wouldn’t surprise her.”

The family member confirmed that Twiggs was questioned by police.

Kirk, 31, was killed by a single bullet to the neck during a stop of his 'American Comeback' college speaking tour at Utah Valley University.

The incident happened shortly after attendee Hunter Kozak asked, “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”

“Too many,” Kirk responded, before Kozak pressed again, “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” The Turning Point USA founder asked in reply, “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Moments later, he was shot.

Discord chats revealed Tyler Robinson’s plans regarding rifle

The roommate reportedly provided investigators with Discord communications from a contact named “Tyler.”

The chats described bullet casings similar to those found at the scene and discussed a “need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point.”

“Messages from contact Tyler also mention that he had changed outfits,” according to an affidavit.

Discord has since issued a statement saying that the said communications were not on its platform.

After the shooting, police recovered an imported .30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle wrapped in a towel in a wooded area.

Casings recovered from Utah Valley University carried inscriptions, including one that apparently read, “Hey fascist! catch!”

A neighbor claimed two weeks ago several people, driving cars with out-of-state plates, were seen going in and out of the house shared by Robinson and Twiggs. “They did not give off a good vibe,” the neighbor said.
