The Family Member Breaks Their Silence

Lance Twiggs, the transgender partner of Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson, had been estranged from family long before the September 10 shooting that shocked America. According to family members who spoke publicly for the first time, Twiggs exhibited troubling patterns that led to being expelled from the family home due to what relatives described as deeply concerning conduct.

The revelation comes as investigators piece together the relationship dynamics that may have influenced Robinson’s decision to carry out the premeditated assassination at Utah Valley University. Twiggs received the confessor text from Robinson after the shooting, making him a crucial witness in the death penalty case.

A Pattern of Destructive Behavior

Family sources reveal that Twiggs had been removed from their household well before the assassination due to behavioral issues that raised serious red flags. The decision to distance themselves from Twiggs now appears prescient given the tragic events that followed. Robinson’s confession text to Twiggs, stating his intent to kill Kirk, demonstrates the depth of their relationship and communication.

Robinson left a handwritten note reading “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it” before climbing onto the Losee Center roof with a sniper rifle. The precision shot from 430 feet away killed Kirk instantly during a debate event attended by 3,000 people.

FBI Protection and Family Dynamics

Initially placed under FBI protection as a key witness, Twiggs has since been released from federal custody. The protection was necessary given the high-profile nature of the case and potential threats. Meanwhile, Robinson’s own family played a crucial role in his capture when his mother recognized him from FBI surveillance photos released during the 33-hour manhunt.

The contrast between the two families couldn’t be starker. While Twiggs’ relatives had already severed ties due to concerning behavior, Robinson’s parents immediately confronted their son and facilitated his peaceful surrender through a family friend who was a retired sheriff’s deputy. This family intervention likely prevented further violence and additional casualties.
