Kirk killed by a shot to the neck

According to investigators, Robinson struck 31-year-old Charlie Kirk, a father of two, with a single shot to the neck while he was addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University’s campus.

Kirk, an ally of President Donald Trump and the founder of the youth organization Turning Point USA, died in hospital.

At the end of the message, he added: “Try to find joy in this life. I will always love you. Tyler.”

When Twiggs asked him: “You didn’t do it, did you?”, Robinson replied: “I did. I’m sorry.”

Asked why he did it, he wrote: “I was tired of his hatred. Some hatred cannot be solved through conversation.”

Planned to hide the rifle

Robinson continued sending messages while he was still near the campus where Kirk was killed. He wrote that he had left the rifle in bushes, at the place where he had changed clothes, and that he was waiting for an opportunity to retrieve it without being noticed.

In the messages, he complained that the crickets were too loud and that there was a possibility a police dog had detected the weapon, while many police officers were nearby. “I’m sitting in the car watching videos for another hour,” he wrote.

Later, he told Twiggs that he was leaving the city of Orem, where Kirk was killed, and returning home to St. George, more than 320 kilometers away.

“He cried and said he regretted it”

Twiggs said that the following day Robinson was back at their apartment and did not want to talk much about what had happened.

“I just asked him if what he had written to me the previous night was true. He said it was. He cried a little and said he regretted what he had done. After that, he just walked around the apartment and did things, probably to take his mind off it,” Twiggs said.

He added that Robinson told him he intended to turn himself in to the police.

Utah Bureau of Investigation agent Brian Davis testified that Robinson arrived at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office on September 11 at around 9 p.m., accompanied by his parents and a family friend, where he was arrested.

Robinson’s attorneys repeatedly challenged the evidence and witness statements during the hearing.

Earlier this week, prosecutors also presented an FBI report stating that Robinson’s and Twiggs’ DNA traces were found on the rifle, a screwdriver, and a towel recovered from the crime scene.

The defense spent hours questioning the expert who prepared the report, asking about procedures, testing methods, interpretation of results, and possible margins of error.

Throughout the week, Kirk’s wife Erika, his parents Katherine and Robert, as well as Donald Trump Jr. and his wife attended the proceedings.

Robinson’s parents and his two brothers were also present in the courtroom. According to the Associated Press, Robinson’s mother Amber cried as his messages were read aloud.
