OREM, UTAH: The alleged trans boyfriend of accused Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson has reportedly bolted from their Utah lovenest, and the neighbors want him gone for good.

Locals told the Daily Mail they never want to see 22-year-old Lance Twiggs again, even as his dusty car and abandoned Amazon packages sit as reminders of the couple.

Neighbors turn on Tyler Robinson's alleged partner Lance Twiggs

Twiggs, a part-time plumber, was hauled in for questioning when cops stormed the $320,000 St George condo he shared with Robinson, also 22, after the latter's September 12 arrest.

One neighbor said he has not been back, pointing at the upstairs lights that have been burning for more than a week and the notes and packages piling up outside the door. “Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again," they said.



 

His battered Infiniti compact is still parked in his spot, work tools tossed in the backseat, and a half-eaten sandwich wrapper and drink in the passenger seat.

“If he ever comes back, it will be in a body bag," another local told the outlet. "That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

Is Lance Twiggs a cooperating witness or co-conspirator?

Despite the venom from neighbors, Twiggs hasn’t been charged with a crime. But speculation is rife regarding what he knew about Robinson’s deranged plan to murder the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder at Utah Valley University on September 10.

So far, investigators say there’s no evidence the transitioning recluse was in on the plot. Instead, he’s being treated as a “cooperating human source” and described as a “significant and essential witness.”

An FBI source told the Daily Mail that that could qualify Twiggs for federal witness protection, though they wouldn’t confirm if he had actually accepted.

His insurance broker dad Tyler Twiggs, 49, and mom Amy, 50, a former college gymnast, live just five miles away but haven’t commented on his whereabouts.

The Twiggs family has deep Utah roots. Grandpa Jerry Twiggs, 72, is a prominent pediatrician who owns multiple homes and lodges around St George, the desert city near Zion National Park.

Strange texts and dark secrets

Twiggs wasn’t cuffed when feds descended on the condo.

"He was wearing a white t-shirt and sweatpants. They just sat him on the step and said the FBI are going to be here soon to ask you some questions," an eyewitness recalled.

"He didn't say anything, no emotion at all really. Tyler and Lance were super reclusive. They just looked like two guys to me."

Prosecutors last week released a text exchange that suggests Twiggs may have been blindsided. “You weren’t the one who did it right????” he asked. Robinson replied, “I am, I’m sorry,” before begging him to “delete this exchange.”

But another text raises eyebrows. “Remember how I was engraving bullets?” Robinson allegedly wrote, a reference to the anti-fascist slogans found etched on the cartridges fired from his grandfather’s antique rifle.

Neighbors say Robinson and Twiggs had been living together for three years after a third roommate left. The pair went from housemates to lovers, and were even spotted kissing around the swish Fossil Hills complex, which boasts a pool, hot tub, and gym.

Twiggs attended Utah Tech University and dreamed of going pro in gaming, reportedly obsessed with Apex Legends, Valorant, and Rocket League.

But family members paint a much darker picture. One relative said he was evicted for breaking his Mormon parents’ strict rules.

“He is full of evil and hatred,” a second family member told local news. “He’s not a healthy person. He is very angry with anyone who is supportive of conservative ideas.”

Another family insider insisted Twiggs was “a drug user who almost overdosed, turned up at family Easter clearly high, spouting political slogans and was addicted to the deep web.”

On Reddit, Twiggs himself admitted to struggling with bulimia and joked about being beaten by his mom. He wrote that social media had pushed him ads for treatments for “schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and a brain tumor.”

Despite their clashes, Amy and Tyler kept sending their son money through Venmo for everything from piano lessons to prescriptions.

Charlie Kirk's widow Erika forgives alleged gunman Tyler Robinson

Charlie Kirk, the father-of-two whose conservative firebrand rhetoric made him a hero on the right and a lightning rod for critics, was laid to rest in front of tens of thousands.

More than 60,000 people packed into State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday for a massive memorial service.

His widow, Erika, 36, spoke to the crowd in an emotional speech forgiving Robinson. “That man, that young man … I forgive him,” she said through tears. “I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do.”

Robinson is currently remanded in custody and faces the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder.
