Explosive court documents have uncovered chilling text messages sent by a senior aide to prominent conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, discussing "murder" just days before the aide was found dead under mysterious circumstances.
Tyler Robinson, 25, who served as the social media director for Kirk's Turning Point USA organisation, exchanged disturbing texts with an associate that included explicit references to violence and killing. The messages emerged in recently unsealed search warrant records related to Robinson's sudden death in February.
Sinister Messages Before Tragedy
According to the court filings, Robinson sent a text stating: "Bro, I'm trying to figure out the best way to murder someone" on February 10th. The recipient, identified as Turning Point USA staffer Jake Hoffman, responded with disturbing enthusiasm: "Bro, let's do it. I've been waiting for someone to say that for so long."
The exchange continued with Hoffman adding: "I'm dead serious. I would be so down. I've always wanted to. I've been waiting for someone to say that." The messages were sent mere days before Robinson was discovered deceased in a Phoenix apartment on February 17th.
Police Investigation Intensifies
Phoenix police have confirmed they are investigating Robinson's death as suspicious, though they have stopped short of classifying it as a homicide. The search warrant documents reveal authorities are examining whether Robinson's death might be connected to these ominous text exchanges.
Detectives are particularly interested in determining whether the messages were part of a disturbing joke, reflected genuine violent intentions, or were connected to Robinson's untimely demise. The investigation has taken on added complexity given Robinson's position within one of America's most influential conservative youth organisations.
Organisation Responds to Crisis
Turning Point USA has acknowledged Robinson's death while emphasising their cooperation with authorities. The organisation described Robinson as a "beloved colleague" while distancing themselves from the disturbing content of the messages.
Charlie Kirk, the founder and prominent face of Turning Point USA, has not publicly commented on the specific allegations contained within the court documents. The organisation faces increasing scrutiny as details of the investigation continue to emerge.
This developing story raises serious questions about the circumstances surrounding Robinson's death and the nature of the conversations that preceded it. Phoenix police continue their investigation as the conservative movement grapples with this shocking revelation.
