Utah District Attorney Jeff Gray reads the recorded messages between the suspected killer of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and his roommate. OREM, Utah — Tyler Robinson’s mother told investigators she had watched her son change dramatically in the year leading up to the Utah college shooting of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Once a college scholarship recipient with a promising future, Robinson had "become more political," leaning left and supporting "pro-gay and trans rights," his mother said, according to court documents. She also recounted heated arguments between Robinson and his father, who held sharply different views and regularly sparred over their competing ideologies. At one point, she told police, her son dismissed Kirk’s Utah Valley University (UVU) event as a "stupid" venue and claimed Kirk "spreads too much hate."

(Photo by Utah State Courts via Getty Images) Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of killing political activist Charlie Kirk, changed dramatically in the last year. That is according to his mother, court documents revealed, per Fox News. Robinson has been charged for assassinating Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, who Robinson allegedly shot at an event on a university campus in Utah Sept. 10.

His mother, who was not named, described her son as a person with a promising future — a college scholarship recipient. Robinson, however, had “become more political” as he supported “pro-gay and trans rights,” per court documents. The mother of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, told investigators her son had undergone a “dramatic” transformation in the year leading up to the fatal shooting. Once a promising scholarship student, Robinson had grown increasingly political, aligning himself with far-left causes, especially pro-gay and transgender rights, according to newly released court documents. The remarks came as part of a broader investigation into Kirk’s murder, which prosecutors say was motivated by political hatred. Robinson is charged with aggravated murder, multiple obstruction and tampering offenses, and committing a violent crime in the presence of a child.

Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty. Robinson’s mother described to police how her son became hostile toward conservative views and engaged in frequent ideological clashes with his father. She also said Robinson dismissed Kirk’s Utah Valley University event as “stupid” and accused Kirk of spreading “too much hate.” His father ultimately confronted him after both parents recognized their son in surveillance footage... Robinson then admitted involvement and was persuaded to surrender. “When asked why he did it, Robinson explained there is too much evil and the guy [Charlie Kirk] spreads too much hate,” court filings say. Prosecutors assert that Robinson planned the attack for over a week, expressing his motive in a series of disturbing text messages sent to his romantic partner—a biological male undergoing gender transition who is now...

The texts detailed his plan, efforts to hide the rifle and clothing, and instructions to delete messages and remain silent if questioned by police.

At one point, she told police, her son dismissed Kirk’s Utah Valley University (UVU) event as a “stupid” venue and claimed Kirk “spreads too much hate.” The mother said her son had become radicalized over the past year — after entering a romantic relationship with a biological male roommate who is transitioning to female.

Tyler Robinson had grown “more pro-gay and trans-rights-oriented” in the past year, his mother told cops in new details revealed Tuesday — as the accused Charlie Kirk assassin was hit with charges that could... Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray called Kirk’s killing “an American tragedy” as he provided more stunning details about the role Robinson’s parents played in his surrender while speaking at a press conference. The developments came as the seven state charges were announced against Robinson, a 22-year-old with a trans boyfriend — including the top rap of aggravated murder, which qualifies for the death penalty in Utah. Gray said he would in fact seek Robinson’s execution, which could be by firing squad under Utah law. “The murder of Charlie Kirk is an American tragedy” Gray told reporters at the Utah County Health & Justice Building in Provo.
