Twiggs also recounted Robinson’s erratic behavior in the days following the incident. Robinson, who is charged in the killing, turned himself in to authorities after the September 10, 2025, shooting. The hearing marks the first public airing of Twiggs’s account in court proceedings.
““Robinson confessed to the shooting and said he wished he hadn’t done that.” — Lance Twiggs, in taped testimony. Court records show the video was edited before presentation, with portions removed for reasons not specified in open court.”
