Naija247news – Provo, Utah, Sept. 16, 2025 – Prosecutors have disclosed text messages exchanged between Tyler Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs, in which Robinson admitted to fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk and described steps taken to hide his rifle in the days before the attack.
Court filings reveal that Robinson instructed Twiggs to check under his computer keyboard, where a handwritten note read:
“I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”
When Twiggs reacted in disbelief, Robinson replied: “I am, I’m sorry,” explaining that police had mistakenly detained others while he tried to recover his weapon. Over the course of the messages, Robinson justified the shooting as retaliation against Kirk’s “hatred,” discussed hiding the rifle in a bush, worried about leaving fingerprints, and instructed Twiggs to delete their messages. He eventually stated he intended to surrender to authorities, telling his roommate: “You are all I worry about love.”
