The transgender roommate of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murder, is drawing scrutiny after relatives claimed the individual “hates conservatives.” The 22-year-old, who is transitioning from male to female, has not been charged but was in a relationship with Robinson.

Family members told Fox News Digital that the roommate appeared “radicalized” and “always very angry,” influencing Robinson’s views during their year-long relationship. “I think Tyler got a whole lot worse in the year they have been dating,” one relative said, noting their shared online gaming circles.

Authorities allege Robinson confessed to the killing in a text exchange with his partner shortly after the attack. In a further twist, Robinson allegedly told the roommate to check under his keyboard, where a note indicated he had “the opportunity to take out” the victim.

Robinson now faces charges including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious injury, and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors say the severity of the crime leaves him eligible for the death penalty, which in Utah may include execution by firing squad.

Investigators say Robinson’s radicalization accelerated in recent years, with evidence pointing to online influences and leftist ideology. His confession and the note have been cited as key evidence in building the case.

The roommate, identified as Lance Twiggs, has been questioned but maintains he had no knowledge of Robinson’s intentions. Officials describe Twiggs as cooperative and stress that he is not facing charges at this time.

Despite that, relatives insist Twiggs played a role in Robinson’s mindset, suggesting he may have intensified the accused killer’s hostility. Authorities, however, are proceeding carefully, separating influence from direct involvement.

As the case unfolds, attention remains on both Robinson’s alleged confession and the wider question of how online and personal relationships may have fueled his path toward violence.
