Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has been linked to claims that he lived with a “transgender partner.” Reports from the New York Post suggested that this individual was cooperating with the FBI. Soon after, speculation grew online that Robinson’s roommate, Lance Twiggs, might be that person.
The claims have sparked widespread debate. However, there has been no official confirmation from law enforcement that Twiggs is the “transgender partner” referenced in early reports. Confusion has grown after conflicting comments from relatives and unnamed sources.
Family Comments Add to the Speculation
According to the Daily Mail, Twiggs, who is 22 and from St. George, Utah, provided police with evidence that helped investigators track Robinson. A family member described him as the “black sheep” of the family but did not speak about his gender identity or relationship with Robinson.
The New York Post first reported that Robinson lived with a transgender partner, citing law enforcement sources. Fox News reporter Brooke Singman also noted that the FBI had recovered text messages and other communications between Robinson and the individual. These exchanges reportedly supported Robinson’s connection to the shooting.
Despite these claims, court affidavits have not mentioned Twiggs as transgender or confirmed a romantic link. His grandfather declined to comment directly when asked by the Mail, saying only that he did not know Twiggs’s “situation exactly right now.”
Why This Question Has Drawn Attention
The question of whether Lance Twiggs is Robinson’s transgender partner remains unsettled. The rumor grew after Robinson’s alleged partner reportedly gave investigators the incriminating evidence that led to his arrest. This detail, first published by the New York Post, created an online storm and triggered speculation about Twiggs’s identity.
Rob Schmitt of Newsmax posted that President Donald Trump had told him the “Kirk assassin has a trans gf.” The comment further fueled confusion, though no official documents have confirmed this.
The discussion has become politically charged because Kirk himself had been addressing questions on transgender violence during the Utah Valley University event where he was shot. The timing of that exchange, caught on video, added to the intense focus on Robinson’s personal life and associates.
What We Know and What Remains Unclear
At present, only partial facts are clear. Tyler Robinson was arrested after FBI investigators obtained communications between him and someone living with him. That person, unnamed in affidavits, has been described as a transgender partner by some outlets.
Whether Lance Twiggs is that partner remains unverified. Family members have not confirmed his identity or gender status. News organizations, including the New York Post and Daily Mail, have reported different angles, leaving the matter unresolved.
Until authorities or court documents provide clarity, the link between Twiggs and the “transgender partner” claim remains speculation.
The case continues to unfold, and more details are expected as hearings progress. The question of whether Lance Twiggs is Robinson’s transgender partner is still open.
