In text messages read on day 4 of the five-day preliminary hearing with Tyler Robinson — the 23-year-old man accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk — Robinson revealed to his then-roommate and romantic partner, Lance Twiggs, that he was the killer.
On Thursday, in a packed Fourth District court in Provo, Utah State Bureau of Investigation Agent Brian Davis took the stand to read text messages exchanged between Robinson and Twiggs on September 10, 2025 , the day of the assassination.
According to evidence, Robinson’s automated text to Twiggs — “drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard” — was likely triggered because Robinson did not expect to survive the incident.
Under the keyboard, investigators later recovered a handwritten note that read, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”
Later, realizing that the automated message was sent, Robinson followed up, stating “F**K I TRIED TO DELETE THAT.”
The following excerpts from at least 15 pages of courtroom-displayed text threads show Robinson explicitly admitting responsibility for the shooting as he attempted to retrieve the murder weapon.
“I am still okay my love,” Robinson wrote before stating he needed to grab his gun.
“I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age.
I am sorry to involve you,” the text message continued.
“You weren’t the one who did it right????”
Twiggs texted back.
“I am, I’m sorry,” Robinson admitted.

Beyond text message admissions, Agent Davis detailed the timeline of how Robinson eventually wound up in handcuffs.
According to Davis, at approximately 8:30 p.m. on September 11 th , investigators received word that an individual involved in the Utah Valley University (UVU) shooting was going to turn himself in at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in St.
George.
Davis was then directed to travel to St.
George.
Along with other investigators, he immediately traveled to St.
George where he observed Robinson inside of a room upon his arrival.
“I was told he arrived there about 9 p.m. that evening.
… He’d come there with his parents and a family friend,” Davis continued.
After interviewing Robinson’s parents and family friend, Mike Mitchell, he formally arrested Robinson at 4:00 am on September 12 th .
He then took the accused assassin to Utah County Jail to be booked.
