Charlie Kirk shooting: Suspect's texts to roommate revealed | LiveNOW from FOX
Deseret News's Eva Terry joins LiveNOW's Mike Pache to discuss some key takeaways from the charging documents released Tuesday in the case against Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk.Robinson, 22, was arrested late last week after a 33-hour manhunt and booked into the Utah County Jail on suspicion of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily harm. Prosecutors are weighing whether to pursue a capital murder charge, which could carry the death penalty or life in prison under Utah law.
On Tuesday, Utah County Attorney Jeff Green announced seven counts against Robinson.
The charges included aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, punishable by up to life in prison, and obstructing justice, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, and witness tampering.
Authorities have not revealed a clear motive in the shooting, but Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said that Robinson wrote in a text about Kirk to his partner: "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out."
Robinson also left a note for his partner hidden under a keyboard that said, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it," according to Gray.
The prosecutor declined to answer whether Robinson targeted Kirk for his anti-transgender views. Kirk was shot while taking a question that touched on mass shootings, gun violence and transgender people.
"That is for a jury to decide," Gray said.
Robinson was involved in a romantic relationship with his roommate, who investigators say was transgender, which hasn't been confirmed. Gray said the partner has been cooperating with investigators.
Robinson's partner appeared shocked in the text exchange after the shooting, according to court documents, asking Robinson "why he did it and how long he’d been planning it."
