Investigations conducted by authorities have revealed prior messages exchanged between Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the killing of the conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, and his roommate.

On Tuesday, the officials noted that the duo exchanged messages two hours before the murder incident.

According to officials, the 22-year-old defendant is in a romantic relationship with the unnamed roommate, who is in the process of transitioning from a male to female.

Prosecutors say Robinson’s message to  his roommate read "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it."

Authorities have alleged that, in response, his roommate asked “why” and Tyler Robinson wrote back. with "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out."

Utah County prosecutor Jeff Gray in a Tuesday news conference, indicated that the police were able to retrieve their messages with the assistance of Robinson’s roommate.

The prosecutor revealed that Robinson’s lover, after the former instructed him to delete their messages, gave those messages to the police as evidence.

However, Robinson's mother, in an indictment, has disclosed that her son had recently developed an interest in political views, especially those that are “pro-gay and trans-rights oriented". She noted that her son accused Charlie Kirk of spreading hate through his comments before the shooting incident.

Meanwhile, no-one else has been charged in connection with the case yet. But the FBI director Patel during Tuesday's Senate hearing announced that several others are under investigation for their alleged involvement in the shooting.

Many individuals, together with those affiliated with President Trump and Kirk's Turning Point USA organisation, have linked the unfortunate incident to transgender activism sponsored by left-wing activists.

President Donald Trump has called Charlie Kirk’s death a “heinous assassination”. In a tribute, President Trump praised Charlie Kirk as a patriot and martyr. President Trump ordered flags at half-staff, reaffirming Kirk’s legacy of faith and freedom.

Charles James Kirk was an American right-wing political activist, entrepreneur, and media personality. He co-founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA in 2012 and was its executive director.

He published a range of books and hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, a talk radio program. He was shot dead at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday afternoon, September 10, while engaging the audience as part of his“American Comeback Tour.”

His death has drawn widespread attention and reignited debates about political violence in the U.S. Charlie Kirk is survived by a wife, Erika Kirk, and two children: a boy of a year and some months old, and a three-year-old girl.

His wife has vowed to carry out his movement. According to her, "The movement my husband built will not die. It won’t I refuse to let that happen. It will not die. All of us will refuse to let that happen. No one will ever forget my husband’s name, and I will make sure of it".

She has emphasized that  her late husband's organization wouldn't back down on campus tours, adding"There will be even more tours in the years to come".
