In the video, which purportedly showed Robinson when he was 17, Kirk's accused shooter could be heard speaking with a slight slur, the Mail added. The video reportedly showed them playing Minecraft and joking around.

Robinson reportedly said on video “Who put a G at the end of my name, what are you, a psychopath?,” before celebrating his leveling up.

What information about Lance Twiggs has come to light

A family member of Twiggs, who spoke to Fox News Digital, said that Robinson's roommate had been forced out of his parents' home at 18 after disputes with his father. “His father thought he wasn’t being respectful and was problematic, so they kicked him out,” the relative told the publication.

“He was using drugs and alcohol, addicted to gaming, and struggling with gender identity. The real reason he was acting out was the substance abuse,” the relative added.

Twiggs had managed to find housing in a townhome in St George, Utah, where he paid rent alongside other college students, who eventually moved out. Robinson moved in last year, with the relative claiming that Twiggs and Robinson were romantically involved.
