Updates on Tyler Robinson and Lance Twiggs Following Charlie Kirk’s Murder
PROVO, Utah – Tyler Robinson, the transgender roommate and partner of the individual accused of killing Charlie Kirk, is no longer under the watch of four security guards, as confirmed by a law enforcement official. This information comes as the FBI has ended their protection for Lance Twiggs, more than four months after Robinson allegedly shot Kirk at a Turning Point USA event in Utah, which occurred on September 10.
Interestingly, the FBI has not disclosed the reasoning behind the termination of Twiggs’ protection, and as of now, no charges have been filed against her. Twiggs gained national attention initially when investigations revealed that Robinson purportedly left a note in their shared apartment, confessing to the assassination shortly after it happened.
Family members had shared with media that Twiggs relocated to a townhome in St. George, Utah, while undergoing a transition from male to female. At the age of 18, reports indicate that Twiggs was kicked out of her parents’ home and had been living with her grandparents before this move.
A relative commented on Twiggs’ situation, saying they managed to keep a job and pay rent, showing some independence. However, there were noted conflicts with family over her gender identity. Moreover, the relative pointed out Twiggs’ struggles with substance abuse as contributing factors to her moving out.
As circumstances evolved, Robinson began living alone in a townhome after another roommate left, and eventually, a romantic relationship blossomed between the two. They lived together for about a year until Robinson’s arrest in September 2025.
Following Robinson’s arrest for suspicion in Kirk’s murder, authorities found Twiggs, who was cooperative during questioning. It was noted that shortly before the incident, Robinson messaged Twiggs, instructing her to “look under my keyboard,” leading investigators to a handwritten confession where Robinson stated, “I had an opportunity to take Charlie Kirk out and I’m going to take it.”
After the murder, exchanges between Twiggs and Robinson continued, revealing a confusing but distressing dynamic, including text messages where Twiggs asked, “You didn’t do it, right??” to which Robinson reportedly replied, “Yes, I’m sorry.”
Currently, Robinson faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder and several counts related to obstruction of justice and firearms. Since the incident, Twiggs has moved out of state and engaged a lawyer for support. There are claims from relatives that Twiggs has experienced a significant shift in attitude, becoming increasingly isolated and radicalized over the years.
