Tyler Robinson, the suspect accused of fatally shooting Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk at a speaking event at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Wednesday, had a romantic partner who was in the process of transitioning from male to female, Utah Governor Spencer Cox told NBC News’ Kristen Welker on Sunday on Meet the Press.
In a further appearance with CNN on Sunday, Cox said: “This partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening.” The FBI told Fox News that Robinson lived with Twiggs in St. George, Utah, which is four hours from UVU.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed on The Megyn Kelly Show on Tuesday that the name of Robinson’s boyfriend is Lance Twiggs.
Post, pictures, and details from Lance Twiggs’ social media show details of their life prior to the shooting.

Why It Matters
President Donald Trump blamed the “radical left” for Kirk’s assassination during a national address on Wednesday night, as the investigation was in its early stages and tensions were escalating across the country.
Trump was then widely criticized by liberals for jumping to that conclusion before any suspects had been arrested. When Robinson surrendered to authorities, liberals focused on his family’s conservative background as evidence that Trump may have been wrong.
Kirk was an opponent of transgender rights advocates and was discussing transgender mass shootings when he was fatally shot.
What To Know
The last post on the Facebook account for Lance Twiggs is dated 27.12.23. It shows Twiggs on a skiing trip, with face obscured while wearing ski gear. It is captioned “just went snowboarding with my sister. Took a couple tries, but i was able to kinda land a 180 right at the end.” The post also includes videos of Twiggs skiing down a mountain.
Details on the Facebook page lists Twiggs as a “digital creator” who studied at Utah Tech University, lives in St. George and is from St. George.
The Facebook page includes a link to Instagram account, sir._.lancelotte, which is set to private.
There is also a TikTok account linked to Twiggs with nine videos posted. One shows a person holding a toad, with filter effects including lightning and fire. Another video shows filming a bathroom, with the text overlay “It’s still worter theory.”
Another video shows Twiggs wearing a hat and headphones, eating something, and the clip then cuts to a person looking down at an animal before cutting to a clip of another animal, and then a person skateboarding, then a person holding up their hands, then two dogs.
In another video, Twiggs appears to be seen wearing a yellow hat with ears opening a cookie tin. In another video, Twiggs puts spaghetti on a sandwich.
The content indicates little about their lives, and Robinson does not appear.
In the reposts section of the account, it is shown that Twiggs reposted a video about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shortly after the election. “Rfk Jr’s brain worm telling him to outlaw soda and replace it with battery acid to combat adhd and autism.” The post references Kennedy’s previous disclosure of a brain worm.
What People Are Saying
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, asked on The Megyn Kelly Show if Lance Twiggs is the name of Robinson’s boyfriend: “That is the boyfriend’s name.”
Utah Governor Spencer Cox, on Meet the Press: “According to family and people that we’re interviewing, he does come from a conservative family. But his ideology was very different than his family, and so that’s part of it. We do know that the roommate that we had originally talked about, we can confirm that that roommate is a boyfriend who is transitioning from male to female. So we know that piece. I will say that that person has been very cooperative with authorities.”
President Donald Trump, in a video posted on Truth Social on Wednesday: “For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop.”
What Happens Next
Prosecutors in Utah County are expected to file formal charges on Tuesday. Robinson is expected to attend an initial court appearance.
Investigators have said they will disclose more forensic findings and interview results as the case proceeds.
