‘Going to do it’: Charlie Kirk murder suspect texted deadly plan before fatal shot but someone knew and said nothing

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, had revealed his deadly plans in text messages before carrying out the attack at Utah Valley University. FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed disturbing new evidence showing Robinson had communicated his intentions to kill Kirk through messages and a handwritten note.

The shocking revelation comes as authorities piece together the events leading to Kirk’s death on September 10, 2025. Robinson was arrested on September 12 after a 33-hour manhunt when his father recognized him from FBI photos and contacted authorities through a youth pastor who worked with the U.S. Marshals.
