Lance Twiggs, 22, aided the FBI in Tyler Robinson’s arrest by sharing texts on the gun used in Charlie Kirk’s shooting; they lived together in Utah.
Lance Twiggs, a 22-year-old from Utah, has shot into the headlines for being the roommate of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Charlie Kirk's shooting. The Daily Mail reported that Twiggs played a key role in Robinson's arrest on Friday by providing the FBI with incriminating texts where Robinson discussed stashing a gun that was used to fatally shoot Charlie Kirk.
Twiggs, along with three others - one of them reportedly Robinson's ‘trans partner’ - lived in a three-bedroom apartment in Saint George, Utah.
Lance Twiggs was named in a report by the Daily Mail on Saturday, revealing that the 22-year-old "wannabe gamer" had played a key role in the identification and the subsequent arrest of Twiggs. The report does not say that Twiggs was transgender or that he was Robinson's partner. The Mail asked Twiggs' grandfather about it, but he refused to confirm the same.
Meanwhile, the New York Post reported, citing a source in law enforcement, that Robinson was living with a "transgender" partner who was undergoing transformation. The alleged "trans partner" has not been named or identified. Brooke Singman of Fox News also reported the alleged "trans partner" connection to Tyler Robinson.
Despite social media linking the Twiggs with the 'trans partner' - no report suggest that they are related.
