What we can learn about Charlie Kirk suspect from his charging document
A charging document from prosecutors has revealed new details about Charlie Kirk's suspected shooter, including incriminating messages he allegedly sent to his roommate.
The details came after Tyler Robinson, 22, appeared in court via video link from prison, having been charged with aggravated murder, weapon, and obstruction of justice offences. He was arrested following a two-day manhunt after right-wing influencer Kirk, 31, was killed at one of his rallies at Utah Valley University (UVU) last Wednesday.
Here are some of the key details included in Robinson's charging document: What was in the texts between Robinson and his roommate? Investigators and prosecutors, including the Utah's Republican governor, Spencer James Cox, have said Robinson was in a relationship with his roommate, a biological male in the process of transitioning. The document reveals some of the exchanges between the pair, which prosecutors say were provided to the police by the roommate, despite Robinson allegedly demanding that they deleted them.
On the day of the shooting, Robinson allegedly sent the roommate a text which read: "Drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard." Prosecutors say the roommate looked under his keyboard and found a note that stated: "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it." Robinson added he was hoping to be home soon and apologised for "involving" the roommate, adding he had "hoped to keep this secret till [sic] I died of old age". When his roommate asked if he was the "one who did it.
