Prosecutors say the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk in Utah, Tyler Robinson, admits in text messages that he shot the victim. The accounts appear in messages presented to the court as evidence. According to the reports, Robinson sent the messages to a romantic partner and also referenced discussing the shooting with others close to him. In the texts, prosecutors contend Robinson acknowledges being the person who fired the shots and describes aspects of his motive.
Fox News reports that an agent testified about the contents of the messages, including that Robinson allegedly apologized and explained why he carried out the attack. Specifically, the reporting says Robinson told a roommate and partner he “had enough of his hatred,” which prosecutors interpret as part of his stated rationale.
The New York Times similarly describes the messages as an admission of responsibility and as being sent to Robinson’s romantic partner. Both outlets describe the alleged confession as central to the prosecution’s case at this stage of the proceedings. The reports reflect allegations made by prosecutors and testimony presented in court, not a final finding of guilt.
