Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female, according to a NY Post source. This individual is cooperating with the FBI in their investigation of the deadly attack against the conservative activist, the source added.
The relationship was first revealed by a Fox News reporter. According to public records, Lance Twiggs, 22, lived at the same address where Robinson resided. A relative of Twiggs confirmed to the NY Post on Saturday that “yes, they were roommates.” The family member, who requested not to be named, said that Twiggs was the “black sheep” of their family in St. George, Utah, but declined to speculate whether there was a romantic relationship between the two men. They said they didn’t know their relative’s political beliefs or whether Twiggs was in the process of transitioning to become a woman, but added that such a thing wouldn’t surprise them.

The family member also mentioned that they knew Twiggs had been taken in for questioning by police. On Saturday, the NY Post found that no one was at the $1,800-per-month apartment that they allegedly shared.
Charlie Kirk: Tyler had “romantic relationship” with transgender person
FBI sources who spoke to FOX News Digital reported that Tyler had a “romantic relationship” with a transgender person. His partner is “fully cooperating with law enforcement and is not currently accused of criminal activity,” the same sources stated.
A neighbor claimed that two weeks ago several people driving cars with out-of-state license plates had been seen coming and going. “They didn’t make a good impression,” the neighbor said. The 31-year-old Kirk was shot in the neck by a bullet shortly after asking a question during his college tour titled “American Comeback” regarding transgender mass shooters. “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters in the last 10 years?” asked attendee Hunter Kozak. “Too many,” Kirk responded.

The question before Charlie Kirk’s shooting
“Do you know how many mass shootings have occurred in America in the last 10 years?” Kozak continued. “With or without gang violence?” the Turning Point USA founder wanted to clarify. Kirk was shot immediately afterward. As a self-described evangelical Christian, Kirk had criticized the goals of the “LGBTQ agenda,” had expressed opposition to same-sex marriage, and had spoken against gender reassignment surgeries and procedures. The FBI is currently searching for a possible motive within “a mountain of evidence,” which includes the relationship between Robinson and Twiggs, as well as “every connection, every group, every bond and anyone connected” to the attack, according to the law enforcement source.
Federal and state authorities revealed during a press conference on Friday that a roommate was cooperating with their investigation. Messages and other communications that the roommate exchanged with Tyler helped federal authorities capture the alleged assassin. The roommate had shared conversations from a contact named “Tyler” on Discord, which described shell casings similar to those found at the crime scene and referenced the “need to retrieve a rifle from a hiding spot.”
“Messages from the Tyler contact also mention that he had changed clothes.” Robinson also discussed in messages with the roommate how he allegedly carved messages on bullets. A family member said that as a child, Twiggs was considered “intelligent,” “quick-spoken,” and a “talented pianist.” “But as he grew up, he was constantly absorbed in video games and his own little world,” the relative noted. “He still has some contact with the family, but has chosen a very different lifestyle, so he’s not particularly close. He left home when he was 17 years old.”
