The charging documents against Charlie Kirk murder accused Tyler Robinson revealed the shocking texts that he sent to his roommate — who was also his love interest. In the conversation, 22-year-old Robinson categorically states that it was he who shot the conservative political activist while addressing a student gathering in Utah.
Robinson, during the conversation, said that he used a rifle belonging to his grandfather to shoot Kirk. He said he hoped the investigators can't find any prints of his as he had to leave behind the gun and the 2,000-dollar-worth scope. As the day progresses, Robinson also told the other person about his plan to surrender before the law enforcement agencies and apologised for dragging him into it. He instructs his "love" to delete the conversation and lawyer up before talking to the probe team.

Given below is the full transcript of the texts exchanged between the two on the day of Charlie Kirk's murder:
Tyler Robinson: drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.
Roommate: What?????????????? You’re joking, right????
I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.
you weren’t the one who did it right????
Tyler Robinson: I am, I’m sorry
Roommate: I thought they caught the person?
Tyler Robinson: No, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering.
Roommate: Why?
Tyler Robinson: Why did I do it?
Roommate: Yeah
Tyler Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven’t seen anything about them finding it.
Roommate: How long have you been planning this?
Tyler Robinson: a bit over a week I believe. 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

I’m wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle. … I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpas rifle … idek if it had a serial number, but it wouldn’t trace to me. I worry about prints I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. didn’t have the ability or time to bring it with. … I might have to abandon it and hope they don’t find prints. how the fuck will I explain losing it to my old man.
only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel. ...
remember how I was engraving bullets? The fuckin messages are mostly a big meme, if I see “notices bulge uwu” on fox new I might have a stroke alright im gonna have to leave it, that really fucking sucks. …
judging from today I’d say grandpas gun does just fine idk. I think that was a $2k scope ;-;
