The neighbor of accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson has blown the lid off his alleged relationship with transgender partner Lance S. Twiggs, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
While speaking with reporters, neighbor Josh Kemp recalled seeing Robinson, 22, holding hands with Twiggs before the pair got into his gray Dodge Challenger and drove off.
Kemp claimed Robinson did not try to hide his relationship while out in public.
Robinson's Neighbor Recalls Last Time He Saw Murder Suspect and Roommate Together
Josh Kemp claimed Robinson was dressed in all black and was 'holding hands' with roommate Lance Twiggs.
In a video shared to social media, Kemp said the last time he saw Robinson and Twiggs, who is said to be cooperating with the FBI, was about two weeks ago when they were holding hands on the way to the suspect's car.
A reporter asked, "So, they looked like a couple?" to which Kemp confirmed, "Yeah."
Kemp said Robinson was dressed in all black, which he found "quite weird" based on the "way (Robinson) walked" and because he had "never really seen anyone dressed all in black with a mask on."
Robinson and Roommate 'Looked Like a Couple' to Neighbor
The neighbor said he found Robinson 'quiet weird' when he last saw him outside two weeks ago.
Kemp also provided insight into Twiggs' appearance, recalling their "freckles" and "weird" "mushroom-shaped" haircut, though he noted the roommate "did not come out" of the house often.
When asked about reports claiming Twiggs was in the process of transitioning genders and whether he believed those aligned with his experiences living nearby, Kemp said: "Yeah, definitely."
He later claimed to have recently seen the roommates "kissing" while he was out riding his bike.
Neighbor Says 'Random Guys Don't Hold Hands and They Definitely Don't Kiss'
Robinson's father turned him in to authorities on September 11.
When asked why he believed reports of Twiggs' preparing for gender reassignment surgery aligned with his observations of the rumored couple, Kemp said he "remembered them talking about a doctor's appointment" within recent weeks.
The neighbor claimed he overheard the pair discussing the appointment when he last saw them come out of their home together.
At one point, a reporter pressed Kemp on why he felt his neighbors were romantically involved if he only watched them together on brief occasions.
Kemp fired back: "Random guys don't hold hands, and they definitely don't kiss."
Robinson's Father 'Turned Him in' to Authorities
Robinson's father was said to recognize his son in suspect photos released by the FBI.
The neighbor's claims come amid an increasing demand for information on Robinson's personal life after his father handed him over to authorities.
As RadarOnline.com reported, father Matt Robinson was said to recognize his son in suspect photos released by the FBI of the alleged gunman on security camera footage.
Matt was said to confront his son about the photos, promoting an alleged confession from the 22-year-old. When his father suggested he surrender to authorities, Robinson allegedly said: "I would rather kill myself than turn myself in."
Despite his son's threat, Robinson was handed over to authorities around 10 P.M. on September 11 and has since been placed under a "special watch" while in jail.

Meanwhile, wild conspiracy theories about Robinson and Kirk's murder have exploded in the wake of the Turning Point USA founder and CEO's assassination on September 10 while speaking in front of thousands at Utah Valley University.
MAGA enthusiasts on social media blamed Kirk's murder on Democrats and accused liberals of fueling political violence, while Kirk's critics shared the right-wing activist's own remarks on gun violence and politics as they claimed he contributed to hateful rhetoric plaguing the country.
Some skeptics claimed Kemp appeared to be "rehearsed" in his interview – and noted authorities said Robinson lived with family when he was taken into custody.
While conservatives claimed Robinson was a radicalized liberal, conspiracy theories emerged claiming he was actually part of white nationalist Nick Fuentes' extremist group "Groypers," who were said to believe Kirk was too moderate.
