Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, allegedly wrote in a message to his trans-identifying boyfriend that he had an “opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it,” according to new court documents.

Robinson sent his boyfriend, whom he referred to as “Luna,” a message on the day of the shooting at Utah Valley University that said, “drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard,” according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by KSL.

“Luna, if you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry. I left the house this morning on a mission, and sent an auto text. I am likely dead or facing a lengthy prison sentence. I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it,” the letter states, according to KSL.

“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. 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,” the letter reviewed by KSL said.

The Daily Wire previously reported that Robinson’s mother told investigators that her son became more political and left-leaning over the past year, adopting pro-gay and pro-transgender views.

The new details shed light on some of Robinson’s last communications before being taken into custody, including a group chat on Discord where an unidentified person said, “Tyler killed Charlie!!!!” per KSL.

“Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. I’m sorry for all this. I’m surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few moments. Thanks for all the good times and laughs, you’ve all been so amazing. Thank you all for everything,” Robinson allegedly said to the Discord group chat.

The unsealed documents also reveal that the state collected new DNA evidence, including “fingerprints and a smeared palm print in the vicinity of the northeast corner rooftop edge of the Losee Center building where Robinson dropped from the rooftop to the ground below,” according to East Idaho News.

Robinson is scheduled to be back in court on April 17, and if ultimately convicted, could face the death penalty.
