From Fox News: The transgender roommate of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was previously kicked out of his parents’ house over issues surrounding substance abuse, gender identity and a persistent video game addiction, a relative told Fox News Digital.
Lance Twiggs, who has not been charged with a crime, moved into a townhome in St. George, Utah, after living with his grandparents when his father kicked him out, the relative said. The 22-year-old is also in the process of transitioning from male to female, the relative confirmed. He was kicked out of his parents’ home at the age of 18, according to the relative.
He shared an apartment in southwestern Utah with 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who’s accused of assassinating Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah.
The relative, who asked to remain anonymous, reportedly explained, “[His father] thought he wasn’t being respectful and was problematic, so they kicked him out. He then lived with [his grandparents] until he was 18 and graduated from high school.”
The woman said Twiggs was experimenting with his “gender identity,” and added, “But the real reason he was acting out was because he was using drugs and alcohol, and was addicted to gaming.”
She explained that Twiggs moved into a townhome with several other college roommates. Robinson only moved into the townhome last year, and he and Twiggs were in a romantic relationship.
“The other college roommates eventually all moved out, and [he] stayed and Tyler became his roommate,” the relative said.
