The investigation into the tragic death of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk continues to unfold, revealing new and disturbing details about the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, and his circle. One key aspect of the investigation revolves around Robinson's roommate, Lance Twiggs, and the communications they shared following the shooting.

Lance Twiggs, identified as Robinson's roommate, has been cooperating fully with law enforcement. Early reports indicated that Twiggs was unaware of Robinson's intentions and played no role in the planning or execution of the crime. Twiggs' background and personal beliefs have also come under scrutiny, adding layers of complexity to the narrative.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed that Twiggs identifies as transgender and is in the process of transitioning from male to female. This detail has sparked considerable discussion, particularly in light of Robinson's alleged motive, which reportedly stemmed from a deep-seated opposition to Kirk's political views and perceived "hatred."

The relationship between Robinson and Twiggs appears to have been complex. While details are still emerging, it's understood that they were in a romantic relationship, adding another layer of intrigue to the case. Law enforcement has emphasized that Twiggs is not considered a suspect and has been instrumental in providing information about Robinson's state of mind and activities leading up to the shooting.

Following the shooting, Robinson and Twiggs allegedly exchanged a series of text messages that provide a chilling glimpse into Robinson's mindset. These messages, now part of the public record, paint a picture of a man grappling with the consequences of his actions and attempting to conceal evidence.

The initial message from Robinson to Twiggs instructed him to look under the keyboard in their apartment. There, Twiggs reportedly found a note in which Robinson confessed to his plan: "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it." This note served as a pre-emptive declaration of intent, laying bare Robinson's premeditation.

Twiggs' immediate reaction was one of disbelief and horror. "What?????????????? You're joking. right????" he texted back, reflecting the shock and confusion of someone suddenly confronted with the unthinkable.

Robinson's subsequent messages reveal a frantic attempt to retrieve a rifle, presumably the one used in the shooting. He expressed concern about being caught and the potential repercussions of losing his grandfather's firearm. "I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still," he wrote.

He further explained his actions, claiming to have been driven by a desire to combat "hatred." "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out," Robinson allegedly texted. This statement offers a glimpse into the motive that fueled his actions, suggesting a deep-seated ideological conflict.

The messages also reveal Robinson's awareness of the potential consequences and his attempts to cover his tracks. He expressed regret for involving Twiggs and hoped to avoid detection. "To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you," he wrote.

Robinson's attempts to retrieve the rifle were fraught with difficulty. He described the presence of law enforcement in the area and the challenges of recovering the weapon without being seen. "I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down," he explained.

His concern over the rifle stemmed not only from its potential as evidence but also from its sentimental value to his family. He worried about the consequences of losing it, particularly with his father. "I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back grandpas rifle…" he confessed.

Robinson's anxieties extended to the potential for forensic evidence. He lamented leaving fingerprints on the rifle and the difficulty of explaining its disappearance. "I worry about prints I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. didn't have the ability or time to bring it with…. I might have to abandon it and hope they don't find prints," he wrote.

In a particularly bizarre twist, Robinson referenced engraved bullets and internet memes in his messages. "remember how I was engraving bullets? The f*****g messages are mostly a big meme, if I see 'notices bulge uwu' on fox new I might have a stroke," he wrote. This cryptic message alludes to a disturbing combination of violence and online subculture.

Ultimately, Robinson decided to turn himself in, realizing the futility of his attempts to evade capture. "Im gonna turn myself in willingly, one of my neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff," he informed Twiggs.

Before surrendering, Robinson instructed Twiggs to remain silent and avoid contact with the media. "don't talk to the media please. don't take any interviews or make any comments … if any police ask you questions ask for a lawyer and stay silent," he urged.

The text message exchange provides critical evidence in the case against Robinson, who faces charges of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and other offenses. The messages reveal his premeditation, motive, and attempts to conceal evidence, strengthening the prosecution's case.

Prosecutors allege that Robinson concealed or removed the firearm used in the shooting and destroyed or concealed the clothing he wore during the incident. These actions form the basis for the obstruction of justice charges.

Forensic analysis of the rifle allegedly used in the shooting revealed DNA consistent with Robinson's, further linking him to the crime. The DNA was found on the trigger, other parts of the rifle, the fired cartridge casing, and unfired cartridges, providing compelling physical evidence.

In addition to the text messages, authorities have also focused on inscriptions found on the ammunition used by Robinson. These inscriptions, revealed by Utah Governor Spencer Cox, reference online gaming culture and antifascist ideology, offering further insight into Robinson's mindset and motivations.

The inscriptions included phrases such as "'Hey fascist! Catch!' followed by up arrow, right arrow, and three down arrow symbols," a reference to the video game Helldivers, and lyrics from the Italian anti-fascist song "Bella ciao." Other inscriptions were more cryptic and suggestive of online meme culture.

The investigation into the Charlie Kirk shooting continues, with the focus on gathering evidence, understanding Robinson's motives, and bringing justice to the victim. The role of Lance Twiggs, as both a roommate and a romantic partner, has been crucial in shedding light on the events leading up to the tragedy.
