Lance Twiggs lived with his grandparents until he became an adult, at which point he moved into a townhome with college roommates.

Tyler Robinson did not move into the home with him until last year, though it’s unclear how long they had been in a romantic relationship with each other.

Fox News shared more on what Twiggs’s relative had to reveal:

“[His father] thought he wasn’t being respectful and was problematic, so they kicked him out,” the relative said. “He then lived with [his grandparents] until he was 18 and graduated from high school.”

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, added that the roommate was struggling with substance abuse issues, addicted to video games and grappling with his “gender identity.”

“But the real reason he was acting out was because he was using drugs and alcohol, and was addicted to gaming,” she said.

The relative also revealed her family member had “always tried to put on the act that he had changed.”

“He moved into a townhome and paid full rent, and there were other college roommates at the time,” the relative explained.

According to the roommate’s relative, he initially moved into the townhome before Robinson, who moved into the house last year. The two were in a romantic relationship, the relative had said.

“He was maintaining a job and able to pay rent, and was technically an adult,” she told Fox News Digital. “The other college roommates eventually all moved out, and [he] stayed and Tyler became his roommate.”

A family member also claimed that Twiggs hated “conservatives and Christians” and that this hatred grew stronger in the last few years.

Daily Mail reported:

‘He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized,’ the relative said.

The relative added that Twiggs was ‘always angry’ and his behavior got worse over the last few years.

They also speculated that Twiggs may’ve influenced Robinson’s politics during their time living together.

‘I think Tyler got a whole lot worse in the year they have been dating. They are big gamers, and obviously they have that group that influences them as well as others. But my gut tells me [Twiggs] did more of the influencing,’ they said.
