What we know about Tyler Robinson: New revelations in Charlie Kirk murder case

The 22-year-old had been planning an attack for a week. He used a weapon he described as “grandpa’s rifle.” And after shooting and killing conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, he messaged his roommate, with whom he was in a romantic relationship, according to court documents.

Told to look under a keyboard, Tyler Robinson’s roommate discovered a note reading, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”

“You weren’t the one who did it right????” asked the roommate.

“I am, I’m sorry,” Robinson replied.

Those were among the details contained in a 10-page criminal information released by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray, who held a news conference after he charged Robinson, a former straight-A student from Utah, with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering for instructing his roommate not to cooperate in Kirk’s death.
