Officials Say Lance Twiggs Relocated for Safety, Cooperating in Kirk Killing Case

Investigators describe Twiggs as a cooperating witness placed in a secure location.

Overview

  • Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby said Twiggs is in a “safe space very far away from St. George” and needs to “lay low for a long time.”
  • Neighbors told the New York Post the Utah townhouse shared by Twiggs and Tyler Robinson appears vacant, with notes and mail accumulating outside.
  • Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested and charged in the killing of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
  • Authorities have not charged Twiggs, and reports indicate he communicated with Robinson after the shooting and has provided information to investigators.
  • A friend told the New York Post that Twiggs became estranged from his family in high school over conflicts with their Latter-day Saint faith, a claim reported by media but not confirmed by officials.
