Court Documents Reveal Murder Suspect's Text Messages: Cold Confessions and Cover-up Attempts

Court documents have revealed disturbing details in the assassination of conservative American activist Charlie Kirk. The documents include text messages between the suspect, Taylor Robinson, and his roommate, with whom he was romantically involved. These messages, provided by the roommate to investigators, show Robinson's attempts to cover up his crime after the shooting at a Utah university.

The Full Transcript of the Messages

The messages reveal Robinson's desperate attempts to retrieve his grandfather's rifle used in the crime, which became a key piece of evidence after federal authorities published a photo of it. The texts also show his reckless plans, premeditation of the crime, and his concern about his father's reaction to the missing family heirloom.

• Robinson: Drop what you're doing, and look under my keyboard. (The roommate found a note saying, "I have my shot at Charlie Kirk and I'm not going to miss it").

• Roommate: What???? You're joking, right?

• Robinson: It's me, unfortunately.

• Roommate: Why?

• Robinson: I hate the man enough myself, and some hate is just too much to argue with.

• Robinson: Delete these messages.

• Robinson: My dad wants photos of the rifle... Federal authorities have released a photo of it, and it's very distinctive. I'm going to turn myself in voluntarily.

• Roommate: I'm more worried about you.

• Robinson: Please don't talk to the media. If the police ask you any questions, ask for a lawyer and stay silent.
