Overview
- Search-warrant affidavits unsealed Friday describe a handwritten note in which Tyler Robinson wrote that he “had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk” and “took it,” according to investigators.
- Investigators say Robinson told his partner by text to look under a keyboard where the letter was found, and records show he also posted in a Discord chat that he was the person at Utah Valley University and planned to surrender.
- Physical and digital evidence cited in the warrants includes fingerprints and a smeared palm print near a Losee Center rooftop edge, cellphone location data from September 10, 2025, and a Google Maps route leading near the campus.
- Items seized from Robinson’s home included ammunition, computers, a DNA sample, a copy of the letter, and a burnt note recovered from trash, based on the warrant inventories.
- Prosecutors have charged Robinson with seven counts including aggravated murder and are seeking the death penalty, with a hearing set for April 17 and a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 18–21, as defense filings challenge an inconclusive ATF bullet match and note complex DNA mixtures.
