Prosecutors presented video footage of a police interview with Lance Twiggs, 23, the former roommate and lover of murder suspect Tyler Robinson, during pre-trial hearings Thursday. The interview, conducted in April 2026 by Utah investigators, focused on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
Twiggs testified that he first met Robinson in person in 2023 when they became roommates, and began dating two months later. On the morning Kirk was assassinated, Twiggs stated that Robinson left early, claiming he had a long shift at work. He did not hear from Robinson again until 11 p.m. that night, when Robinson instructed him to find a handwritten note under his keyboard. According to court filings, the note read, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it."
Twiggs recalled Robinson returning to their home by the following morning, pacing and avoiding questions about the assassination. Twiggs claimed Robinson eventually admitted to the assassination, began crying, and told Twiggs "he wishes he hadn't done it." Robinson also stated he was going to go to his parents or turn himself in, Twiggs added.
