The live-in partner of Tyler Robinson, accused of fatally shooting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Sept.10 in Utah, has reportedly gone into hiding as authorities continue their investigation.
Lance Twiggs, 22, has been cooperating with law enforcement but is maintaining a low profile in the aftermath of the attack, officials confirmed.
Neighbors in St. George, Utah, said Twiggs’ townhouse appeared abandoned, with mail piling up outside.
Jesse Riley, a nearby resident, described the quiet neighborhood as stunned by the events.
“It’s definitely surprising that it happened here. People are usually pretty isolated,” Riley told the New York Post.
Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby stated that Twiggs is currently in a “safe space far from St. George” and will remain there for the foreseeable future.
Law enforcement continues to maintain a presence in the area while investigators examine Robinson’s actions.
Twiggs has not been charged in connection with the shooting but is considered a key witness in the ongoing investigation.
Court documents indicate that Twiggs was the first person Robinson contacted after the attack.
Authorities reported that Robinson left a note under Twiggs’ desk and sent text messages confessing to the shooting.
Twiggs reportedly reacted with shock and uncertainty
