New details have come to light about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Law enforcement officials in the US revealed that Tyler Robinson, the murder suspect, lived with Lance Twiggs, a transgender partner who is in the process of transitioning from male to female.
According to reports, Twiggs is fully cooperating with the FBI in its investigation of the deadly shooting that took place during an event at Utah Valley University.
The fact that Robinson lived with a transgender partner has drawn additional public attention, especially since Kirk was shot minutes after being asked directly about "mass shooters from the transgender community." Witnesses said the question created a tense moment. Kirk, known for his outspoken criticism of transgender activism, managed to answer before being shot in the neck.
A relative of Twiggs told the New York Post that Twiggs was considered "the black sheep" of a family living in St. George, Utah. She said she could not confirm whether there was a romantic relationship between the two but was not surprised by the possibility.
Authorities said Twiggs handed over Discord messages he had received from Robinson, in which Robinson described bullets identical to those found at the scene and wrote about "the need to pick up a rifle from a stash point." These details formed a central part of the evidence leading to Robinson's indictment on charges of aggravated murder, an offense in Utah that can carry the death penalty.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old transgender partner continues to be questioned by police over ties to Robinson, according to family members.
