"Prosecutors revealed shocking new details about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. According to an indictment, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson texted his live-in partner, Lance Twiggs, a transgender woman, less than three hours after the shooting to confess. Robinson allegedly told Twiggs to “look under my keyboard,” where a handwritten note spelled out his plan to assassinate Kirk.
Court filings say Robinson admitted he had been planning the attack for a week and used his grandfather’s scoped .30-06 rifle to fire a single fatal shot from a rooftop. In the messages, Robinson apologized for dragging Twiggs into the plot, confessed outright to the killing, and worried about returning the rifle to his family.
Robinson now faces seven felony counts including aggravated murder, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors and Utah Governor Spencer Cox have vowed to pursue the death penalty, possibly by firing squad, if Robinson is convicted.
Kirk, 31, was on his American Comeback Tour when he was gunned down. He leaves behind a wife and two young children. His funeral is scheduled for Sept. 21 at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, with President Trump expected to attend.
Robinson’s messages and his partner’s cooperation were key in helping investigators track and arrest the alleged shooter."
