Tyler Robinson, the accused shooter of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, sent a string of text messages to his partner after the fatal incident in Utah. The messages have now become key evidence in the ongoing investigation. Authorities confirmed that Robinson admitted in writing that he could “no longer tolerate” what he described as Kirk’s hatred.
Robinson was arrested soon after the attack. He has been charged with aggravated murder, firearm offenses, and witness tampering. Investigators say both his texts and a handwritten note point to premeditation.
Texts Sent After Charlie Kirk Shooting Revealed
According to Associated Press reports, Robinson confessed to his partner via text, writing: “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.” He further explained his movements, admitting he had abandoned his rifle but was worried about recovering it as police were nearby.
In one message, he wrote: “I can get close to it but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don’t wanna chance it.” Another revealed his wish to keep the truth hidden until his death, adding, “I am sorry to involve you.”
Prosecutors confirmed that Robinson asked his partner to delete the texts. This led to an additional witness tampering charge. Investigators also recovered DNA evidence from the rifle trigger, which matched Robinson.
Note Left Before the Shooting
Apart from the texts, Robinson allegedly left a written note at home. It read: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.” Officials said this note is a direct sign of planning the attack in advance.
Charlie Kirk was shot last week while addressing an event at Utah Valley University. He collapsed mid-speech and was rushed to a hospital but died shortly after. Witnesses reported the gunfire came while Kirk was speaking on transgender-related violence.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox confirmed Robinson’s partner and roommate is transgender. However, officials have not yet confirmed whether Kirk’s views on transgender issues were the motive behind the shooting.
Ongoing Investigation and Wider Impact
Prosecutors say evidence is mounting against Robinson. The recovered texts, note, and DNA links are central to the case. He is being held without bail while awaiting trial.
The attack shocked Kirk’s supporters and raised wider questions on political violence in the United States. It has also intensified debates about security at public events and the role of extreme rhetoric. Authorities continue to investigate if Robinson acted alone or had other influences.
Charlie Kirk’s death during a live event has already sent ripples through national politics. Robinson’s own words, now public, show how anger turned into violent action. The case will now proceed through the courts, where his texts are expected to be a key factor.
