The family of Charlie Kirk’s alleged murderer’s transgender partner has disclosed his whereabouts after he vanished following the shocking incident.
Kirk, aged 31, was tragically shot in front of hundreds during a live debate event at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10.
Authorities allege that Tyler Robinson, 22, who is accused of the crime, was influenced by a ‘leftist ideology’ and possibly ‘radicalized’ online before his arrest for the murder of the MAGA influencer.
Prosecutors have unveiled text exchanges between Robinson and his live-in transgender boyfriend, Lance Twiggs, 22, that seemingly contain a confession of the crime.
Though no direct link has been established between Twiggs and Robinson concerning the assassination, Twiggs has remained an enigmatic figure since the shooting.
For several weeks, Twiggs was absent from the Utah apartment he shared with Robinson.
Now, an anonymous family member of Twiggs has finally spoken out in an interview with NewsNation’s Brian Entin and revealed where he is living.
‘First few weeks, because there were so many threats against his family and him, my understanding is that they did have a little bit of FBI detail, and they kind of moved around a little bit, but they’re not any more. He’s with his family,’ she said.

Twiggs hasn’t been charged with any crimes, and authorities said he was cooperating with the investigation, but the family member claimed he was not being forthcoming with the information.
‘When I first found out about how he was taken in and talked to by the police, I know they said he was very cooperative, but they had to go get him and bring him in,’ she said.
‘He didn’t voluntarily go in and say, “Hey, I heard about this, and I have some knowledge.”
‘He handed things over when they asked for them, but he didn’t give up any information until he had to.’
The woman said that Twiggs and Robinson were both promising young men who were corrupted by online culture.
‘Both of them are super smart. Lance was a concert pianist, his talent for piano music was off the charts… That’s what I’ve heard about Tyler, that he was just so smart. It’s just a shame that these kids had so much potential and such a bright future,’ she said.
‘Being as anti-social as they were, from my understanding, playing these games and being a part of this discord group… they didn’t seem like they were in a real world.’
Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder for the shooting, and prosecutors have announced their plans to seek the death penalty.

While no connection has been made between Twiggs (pictured) and Robinson regarding the assassination, Twiggs has remained a mystery ever since the shooting
The accused assassin has not yet entered a plea and is fighting to have the prosecution removed from the case, KUTV reported.
His defense has argued that the adult child of a deputy county attorney was at the event when Kirk was killed and it creates a conflict of interest.
While the prosecution has admitted the adult child was there, they argue that there is no conflict of interest.
A judge has not yet ruled on the matter, and Robinson is due back in court on January 16.
