Utah’s prosecutors published text messages between the alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson and his romantic partner – who moves from a man to a woman – apparently anticipated and confessing in killing a conservative activist.
The court submissions reveal that on the day of shooting Robinson sent his partner a note under his keyboard and said, “I had the opportunity to remove Charlie Kirk and I will take it.” Asked if he was a shooter, Robinson replied, “I’m, sorry.”
Claim motivation: “enough of your hatred”
Robinson justified his actions in another message and wrote, “I had enough of his hatred. Some hatred cannot be negotiated.” The prosecutors said the attack was planning more than a week.
Tyler Robinson Detailed attempts to recover a rifle
Tyler Robinson casts light on his actions after killing a conservative activist.
On one exchange Robinson described his attempts to restore the rifle he used, which belonged to his grandfathers:
“I planned to catch a rifle from my drop shortly thereafter, but most of the city was locked down. It’s silence, almost enough to get out, but there’s one vehicle.”
Later he sent a message, “He will try to regain it, hopefully they moved on. I haven’t seen anything about them to find it.”
Robinson also expressed caution to zoom in to the weapon: “I can approach it, but there’s a parked car directly. I think they have already swept this place, but I don’t want a chance.”
He repeatedly expressed regret of the loss of the rifle and confided in his partner:
“To be honest, I was hoping to keep it until I died in old age. I’m sorry to connect you.”
Concerns about the evidence of the murderous weapon and the DNA
Later texts showed that Robinson expresses the concern of the rifle he left after shooting in the bushes and noted that he belongs to his grandfather: “Maybe I have to leave it and hope they will not find prints.” According to court documents, DNA from the weapon was associated with Robinson.
Prosecutors: Robinson ordered the partner to delete evidence
According to the district of Utah district, Jeffrey Gray Robinson knocked out the rifle and clothing used in the attack and ordered his partner to remove the in question. Gray said:
“He ordered his partner to delete his news, and told them to be quiet if they were questioned by the police.”
