‘You are all I worry about’: Texts reveal Tyler Robinson’s concern for partner after Charlie Kirk killing
WASHINGTON, DC: Tyler Robinson confessed to killing conservative icon Charlie Kirk in a chilling text exchange with his transgender roommate and romantic partner just hours after allegedly carrying out the shooting at Utah Valley University on September 10. He also left a hidden note confessing to the plot, prosecutors revealed.
As per an indictment filed on Tuesday, September 16, the 22-year-old told his live-in partner, Lance Twiggs, that he worried more about his "love" than himself after killing Kirk.
Tyler Robinson confesses to his partner he is going to take out Charlie Kirk
Tyler Robinson told Lance Twiggs in a text message to "drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard" after shooting Kirk from a rooftop at UVU.
When Twiggs looked under the keyboard, there was a note that allegedly read: "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it."
Twiggs was seemingly shocked and replied, ""What?????????????? You're joking, right????" Robinson told his "love" that he was "still ok" but was stuck in Orem for a little while longer.
"Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you," Robinson messaged Twiggs.
Twiggs asked Robinson if he wasn't the one who killed Charlie Kirk, and the 22-year-old told Twiggs that he was sorry and that he was the one. Robinson informed Twiggs that the officials "grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing."
"I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. It's quiet, almost enough to get out, but there's one vehicle lingering," Robinson wrote in the text message to Twiggs.
Tyler Robinson asks Lance Twiggs to delete their conversation
Further in the conversation, Tyler Robinson messaged Twiggs and told him to delete their text messages.
"My dad wants photos of the rifle ... he says grandpa wants to know who has what, the feds released a photo of the rifle, and it is very unique. He's calling me rn, not answering," Robinson wrote. Robinson further revealed in the message that since Donald Trump became president, his father "has been pretty diehard MAGA."
He further added that he was going to turn himself in willingly, as one of his neighbors was a deputy for the sheriff. He also wrote that he only worried about Twiggs. Twiggs replied to his text, "I'm much more worried about you," and Robinson told his lover not to talk to the media, give interviews, or make any comments.
He also told Twiggs that if any police officers ask questions, he should ask for a lawyer and stay silent.
