A string of confessions​

Robinson appeared to confess to the shooting multiple times, in texts with his partner; in messages with friends on Discord; in conversations with his family; and to a family friend who was a former sheriff’s deputy.


Robinson’s partner, with whom he shared an apartment, shared their text messages with police, according to charging documents released by Utah County officials.

On September 10, Robinson allegedly sent a message to his partner instructing them to “drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.”

Under the suspect’s keyboard, his partner found a note reading, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it,” according to police, who said they found a photo of the note.

In subsequent messages to his partner, Robinson seemed to confirm he had shot Kirk and said he “had enough of his hatred.” He said he had planned the attack for over a week and discussed his plans to recover the rifle from where he left it. And he referenced the bullets he had engraved with messages pulled from internet and video gaming jargon, describing them as “mostly a big meme.”

He also instructed his partner to “delete this exchange” and deny media interviews and said he planned to turn himself in to a sheriff’s deputy.


On Discord, an online platform popular among gamers, an account attributed to Robinson also seemed to confess to the crime, according to the Washington Post.

He told a small group chat he had “bad news,” and it was “me at UVU yesterday,” the Post reported, citing sources and screenshots the Post viewed.

He told the group he would surrender shortly and thanked them for “all the good times and laughs,” the outlet said.

Robinson’s partner also showed investigators messages attributed to Robinson on Discord, in which he discussed the rifle left at the crime scene and the engraved bullets, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox previously said.


Discord has said its investigation found no evidence the suspect promoted violence or planned the attack on its platform.

Finally, Robinson confessed to his father. After Robinson’s parents recognized their son in surveillance footage released by police, his father confronted his son on the phone, according to the charging document.

Robinson “implied that he planned to take his own life” in that conversation, according to the filing. His parents convinced him to meet them at home, where he “implied that he was the shooter,” says the document.
