“I left the house this morning on a mission, and set an auto text.”
The language becomes even more alarming as Robinson appears to acknowledge both the gravity of his actions and the consequences he expected to face:
“I am likely dead, or facing a lengthy prison sentence. I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it.”
“I don’t know if I will/have succeeded, but I had hoped to make it home to you. I wish we could have lived in a world where this did not feel necessary. I wish I could have stayed for you and lived our lives together,”
The note concludes with a deeply personal message:
“I lack the words to express how much I love you, and how very much you mean to me. Please try and find joy in this life. I love you, always, -Tyler,”
Prosecutors argue that the note, combined with a series of real-time text messages, demonstrates that Robinson carefully planned the attack and anticipated both escape attempts and eventual capture.
Those text messages, also included in the court filings, provide a chilling glimpse into Robinson’s mindset in the hours following the shooting. As law enforcement moved to secure the area, he allegedly described his efforts to avoid detection and retrieve a weapon.
“I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet [sic], almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering,”
“Three hours ago there was an officer with a k9 walking nearby the area, hoping that pooch has a bad sniffer,”
“Im wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle, because it sounds like the police couldn’t get in for a long while because of the traffic.”
At one point, Robinson even described passing time while waiting for an opportunity to move:
“guess im just sittin in my car watching reels for another hour, hopin this guy f–ks off [sic].”
The exchanges between Robinson and Twiggs also suggest that the suspect believed his time was running out. In one message, Robinson appears to accept his fate while proposing a final meeting:
“I’m sorry, but I think this might be it,”
“If the way is clear I can try and come your way to say goodbye, after that I have a spot in mind that I’ll call police to…I have no doubts they will be on me within the hour. And I will be giving my location up and going out on my own terms I have no intention of being drug through the courts in front of the country. Can I come see you?”
Twiggs reportedly attempted to leave his location discreetly, replying:
“i said im swapping laundry, heading home now [sic],”
To which Robinson answered:
“nice. I will see you soon.”
Officials have not confirmed whether the two ultimately met before Robinson was apprehended. Reports indicate he was later turned in by his own father the following day.
Robinson now faces capital murder charges and remains behind bars as the legal battle unfolds. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 17, where attorneys are expected to argue over media access and whether cameras should be allowed in the courtroom.
As more details emerge, the case is raising serious questions about motive, ideology, and how such a plot developed unnoticed until it nearly turned deadly. The suspect’s own words, now part of the public record, may ultimately become the most damning evidence presented in court.
