ABC Reporter Says Intimate' and Touching' Messages Between Kirk Murder Suspect and Partner Show Heartbreaking Duality' of Killing

"I don't know if we have seen an alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it. But also it was very touching in a way that I think many of us didn't expect. A very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, calling him my love and I want to protect you, my love."

"Obviously, Charlie Kirk was murdered brutally in front of a crowd of thousands of people, who watched him being shot through the neck and then essentially bleed out in front of them. On the other hand, there's this duality of a portrait of a very human person, a very human experience from this entire family, noting that it was Robinson's family who turned him in."

A suspect allegedly sent text messages that described the murder weapon in detail, including where it was hidden, how it was placed, and what was on it. Those messages also contained intimate language toward a roommate who was transitioning, repeatedly calling him "my love" and expressing a desire to protect him. Charlie Kirk was killed at Utah Valley University, shot through the neck and bleeding out in front of thousands of people. Children were present, an aggravating circumstance. The suspect's family reported him to authorities. Public officials read lengthy, apparently self-incriminating yet touching text messages during a public briefing.
