On Thursday, prosecutors presented never-before-seen video footage of a police interview given by Tyler Robinson’s former roommate and lover, Lance Twiggs, 23.
The interview was conducted in April 2026 by Utah investigators, as Twiggs was grilled over the aftermath of Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
In the footage, Twiggs said he first met Robinson in person in 2023 when they moved in as roommates, and they began dating roughly two months later. He recalled on the morning Kirk was assassinated, Robinson left early in the morning and claimed he had to work a long shift.
He said he didn’t hear from Robinson again until 11pm that night, when Robinson told him to look under his keyboard to find a handwritten note. The note read, ‘I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it,’ according to court filings.
Twiggs recalled Robinson returning to their home by the next morning, and said Robinson was pacing around the home while avoiding questions about Kirk’s assassination.
Twiggs claimed Robinson eventually admitted to the assassination, began crying and told Twiggs ‘he wishes he hadn’t done it.’
Robinson said he was going to go to his parents or turn himself in, Twiggs added.
