Share this @internewscast.com

In a recent development from Provo, Utah, the transgender roommate and romantic partner of Tyler Robinson, the alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk, has reportedly had their security detail withdrawn. This information was confirmed by a law enforcement source to Fox News Digital.

This change comes as the FBI decided to cease its protective measures for Lance Twiggs, more than four months after Robinson allegedly shot and killed Kirk during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10. The decision to end the protection has not been publicly explained by the FBI, and it is important to note that Twiggs has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

The case gained national attention when it was revealed that Robinson allegedly left a note confessing to the assassination of Kirk at the apartment he shared with Twiggs shortly after the incident. This thrust Twiggs into the public eye.

A family member shared with Fox News Digital that Twiggs has since relocated to a townhome in St. George, Utah, where they live with several college roommates. This move follows Twiggs’ transition journey from male to female. Previously, at age 18, Twiggs had lived with grandparents after being asked to leave the parental home.

Footage from a recent court appearance captures Tyler Robinson facing charges related to the murder of Charlie Kirk. The hearing took place at the Fourth District Court in Provo, Utah, with media coverage highlighting the serious nature of the case.

A relative previously told Fox News Digital that Twiggs had moved into a townhome in St. George, Utah with several college roommates while transitioning from male to female. Twiggs, 22, previously lived with his grandparents after being kicked out of his parents’ home at the age of 18, according to the relative. 

“He was maintaining a job and able to pay rent, and was technically an adult,” she said.

The relative pointed to a history of conflict between Twiggs and other family members over his gender identity, while also citing Twiggs’ reported history of drug abuse and alcoholism as the cause of him moving into his own place.

“But the real reason he was acting out was because he was using drugs and alcohol, and was addicted to gaming,” the relative said. “He had always tried to put on the act that he had changed.” 

After the other roommates moved out, Robinson began living in the townhome and the pair ultimately entered a romantic relationship, the relative said. Both Robinson and Twiggs continued living together for about a year until Robinson’s arrest in September 2025. 

Following Robinson being taken into custody over his alleged connection to Kirk’s killing, authorities tracked down Twiggs – who was later described as “cooperative” – and brought him in for questioning, the relative said.

Court documents reveal that shortly before the murder, Robinson allegedly texted Twiggs to “look under my keyboard” in the pair’s shared apartment. 

Investigators say the message pointed to a handwritten note from Robinson, in which he said, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it.” 

Additionally, authorities say Twiggs and Robinson allegedly exchanged multiple text messages immediately following the killing, in which Twiggs asked his partner if he truly was the one who shot Kirk.

“You weren’t the one who did it right????” Twiggs allegedly asked.

“I am, I’m sorry,” Robinson allegedly responded, according to court filings.

Immediately after Robinson’s arrest, Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby told reporters Twiggs was in a “safe space very far away from St. George,” and that law enforcement from a separate agency were speaking with Twiggs’ associates.

“They need to lay low for a long time,” Brooksby previously said, referring to both Twiggs’ and Robinson’s family members. 

Twiggs has since moved out of state and retained an attorney. 

“He hates conservatives and Christians,” Twiggs’ relative previously told Fox News Digital. “He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized.”

“He has obviously gotten progressively worse the last year or two,” the relative said, adding that he’s “always very angry.”

Robinson is charged with aggravated murder, two counts of obstruction of justice, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of witness tampering, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child.
