New Details Emerge in Charlie Kirk Murder: Suspect Tyler Robinson Charged, Confessions Revealed
Authorities have released new, harrowing details surrounding the killing of political activist Charlie Kirk, with 22-year-old Tyler Robinson now facing multiple charges, including aggravated murder. The shocking revelations shed light on the frantic hours immediately following Kirk’s death by a sniper at Utah Valley University last week, and how investigators pieced together the case leading to Robinson’s arrest.
Utah County Atty. Jeffrey Gray confirmed that Robinson has been charged with seven counts, including two counts of obstruction of justice for allegedly concealing the murder weapon and disposing of his clothes. He also faces two counts of witness tampering, accused of instructing his roommate to delete incriminating text messages and to evade investigators.
Charging documents detail a chilling text exchange between Robinson and his roommate, with whom he was romantically involved. The roommate, reportedly unaware of Robinson’s week-long planning, received a text after the shooting instructing them to look under Robinson’s keyboard, where a message read: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”
In subsequent texts, Robinson allegedly confessed to the killing, telling his partner, “I am, I’m sorry.” When asked why, Robinson reportedly stated, “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated.”
The investigation was significantly aided by Robinson’s parents, who recognized him from grainy photos released to the public. His mother informed investigators that Robinson had become increasingly political and left-leaning over the past year, focusing on pro-gay and trans-rights, and had expressed strong disapproval of Kirk’s views, accusing him of “spreading hate.” Confronted by his parents, Robinson admitted to the killing and expressed suicidal thoughts, telling them, “There’s too much evil, and the guy,” referring to Kirk, “spreads too much hate.”
Further evidence emerged from a Discord chat group, where Robinson reportedly confessed to over 20 members just two hours before his arrest, stating, “Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this.” FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed agents are actively interviewing individuals who interacted with Robinson online.
The rifle used in the shooting, Gray revealed, was a gift from Robinson’s father, originally belonging to his grandfather. Robinson had expressed concern in texts about losing the weapon.
