One neighbor told the outlet, "Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again."
Another added, “If he ever comes back, it will be in a body bag. That's not a threat – I'm just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he'd be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event."

Twiggs was not in handcuffs when police escorted him from the apartment following Robinson’s arrest on September 12. A source told the Daily Mail that local law enforcement treated him calmly.
“He was wearing a white t-shirt and sweatpants. They just sat him on the step and said the FBI are going to be here soon to ask you some questions,” a source told the outlet.
While Twiggs waited outside, sniffer dogs searched the apartment for explosives. FBI agents later arrived to conduct a full search of the property.
