Mother of Charlie Kirk Suspect Goes Public With Chilling Information

Tyler Robinson’s mother told police that she had seen a big change in her son in the year before the Utah Valley University shooting of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Robinson used to be a college scholarship winner with a bright future. But his mother alleged in court filings that he had “become more political,” leaning left and supporting “pro-gay and trans rights.”

She also discussed how Robinson and his father would frequently get into heated disputes because they held very different perspectives and often argued about their beliefs, as noted by Fox News.

She told the police that at one point, her son called Kirk’s Utah Valley University (UVU) event a “stupid” place and said that Kirk “spreads too much hate.”

Prosecutors now assert that political animosity motivated Robinson’s actions.

In court papers, they say he went after Kirk deliberately “because of his political expression.”

His parents recognized him after he was captured on a security camera following the shooting.

“Robinson’s father reported that when his wife showed him the surveillance image of the suspected shooter in the news, he agreed that it looked like their son,” prosecutors alleged in court filings.

Robinson’s father confronted him and talked him into surrendering to the authorities.

“As they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that he was the shooter and stated that he couldn’t go to jail and just wanted to end it,” prosecutors wrote. “When asked why he did it, Robinson explained there is too much evil and the guy [Charlie Kirk] spreads too much hate.”

On Tuesday, prosecutors charged Robinson with aggravated murder in the death of Kirk, along with other crimes connected to the case. He is also charged with two counts of witness tampering and two counts of obstruction of justice for telling his roommate to delete texts and stay quiet while hiding the gun and clothes.

Robinson is also being charged with a violent crime that happened in front of a child, and prosecutors have said they want to seek the death sentence.

Police and video taken at the scene show that Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was answering questions in UVU’s crowded plaza when he was shot from a rooftop about 200 yards away.

But police said he had become more radicalized over the past year, after dating a biological male roommate who is transitioning to female. They based this conclusion on conversations with his mother.

In a series of text messages after the shooting, revealed Tuesday by Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray, Robinson allegedly admitted, “I had enough of [Kirk’s] hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”

He said he had planned the attack for “a bit over a week,” detailing to his lover how he discarded clothing and the rifle and urging his partner to delete the messages and stay silent if questioned by police.

Robinson graduated from Pine View High School in 2021.

In the fall of that year, photos emerged of him settling into Utah State University (USU), specifically outside the Richard and Moonyeen Anderson Engineering Building.

In a statement to Fox News from USU, the public university said, “Utah State University confirms that Tyler Robinson, the suspect arrested in the killing of Charlie Kirk, briefly attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021.”

“We can also confirm that he was a pre-engineering major and took classes consistent with that major for his one semester,” the school added.

He didn’t last long there.

Robinson then attended Dixie Technical College and was a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program.

Robinson was living with a “roommate,” who police say was a love partner who was changing from male to female and is helping them with their investigation.

In Robinson’s charging documents, prosecutors included a long chain of text messages between him and his partner. The messages are said to show Robinson talking about the case with his partner, confessing to the crime, and saying he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to get the suspected murder weapon because police had locked down the area.

The police said they found a Mauser .30-06 gun in the woods near UVU, wrapped in a towel.

Still unknown are Robinson’s job duties and the specifics of how he became radicalized.
