Authorities report that digital communications between Tyler Robinson and his 22-year-old roommate, Lance Twiggs, played a key role in locating the suspect in the death of political activist Charlie Kirk. Investigators say these exchanges, along with other evidence, helped authorities track Robinson’s movements and ultimately secure his arrest.
Senior officials confirmed that Robinson lived in St. George, Utah, with a partner identified as a transgender woman. Investigators emphasized that the partner is cooperating fully and is not facing any allegations related to the case. Text messages and digital communications obtained from the apartment contributed to the broader investigation, while electronics seized from the residence were sent to Quantico for forensic analysis.
Public records also list Lance Twiggs, 22, as residing at the same St. George address. A family relative described Twiggs as the “black sheep” of the household but declined to comment on whether Twiggs and Robinson were romantically involved or discuss political views or personal details.
Authorities are continuing to review all digital evidence and explore potential connections that may provide insight into the case. Law enforcement has stressed that cooperation from associates and careful forensic work are essential to building a thorough understanding of the events leading up to the crime. The ongoing investigation remains active, with officials working to ensure that all relevant information is analyzed. Authorities continue to urge anyone with additional knowledge to come forward, while the public follows developments closely as the case unfolds.
