Chilling messages Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer sent to friends following assassination

Hours after Charlie Kirk‘s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, 22, shot the right-wing political activist during a debate at Utah Valley University, he joked in a private Discord chat that his “doppelganger” killed Kirk. 

One of his friends even tagged Robinson in one of the photos released by the FBI showing the alleged shooter — a slim man, college-aged, wearing sunglasses and a cap, skulking through the campus stairwell — writing “wya,” meaning “where you at,” alongside a skull emoji.

Robinson responded by brushing off the allegations, writing that his look-alike was trying to “get me in trouble.”

Another message in the chat read, “Tyler killed Charlie,” as a joke.

According to the messages obtained by the New York Times, Robinson also mocked the FBI investigation.

Allegedly, one of the people in the chat joked that they would turn Robinson to the authorities if they get a $100,000 reward, to what Robinson replied, “Only if I get a cut.”

A user mentioned Luigi Mangione, charged with killing the United Healthcare CEO, and warned Robinson not to head to McDonald’s. Robinson replied: “Better also get rid of this manifesto and exact copy rifle I have lying around.”

At one point, Kirk’s alleged killer sent his friends a message writing, “I’m actually Charlie Kirk. Wanted to get outta politics so I faked my death, now I can live out my dream life in Kansas.”

He added how he believed the killer was obviously from California. “I heard the ammo had somethin about trans stuff on it, but they aren’t releasing photos or exact quotes,” he also reportedly wrote, adding: “And also the claim wasn’t backed by the official FBI, just some dude in the briefing room.”

Although the leaked messages have sparked major attention, doubts remain about their authenticity and context. Discord, where the exchanges were said to occur, stated it has found no evidence Robinson used its platform to plan or promote violence.

“In the course of our investigation, we identified a Discord account associated with the suspect,” the company stated. “But we have found no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord.

“The messages referenced in recent reporting about planning details do not appear to be Discord messages.

“These were communications between the suspect’s roommate and a friend after the shooting, where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere.”

Authorities revealed that it was a family member, likely Robinson’s father, who first suspected his son was behind the shooting. He then spoke to a friend who contacted law enforcement.

Governor Spencer Cox of Utah thanked the alleged killer’s family for “doing the right thing.”

A child’s desperate cry for help — and the hero no one expected

Heavy rain poured down outside, streaming across the windows of Murphy’s Truck Stop. Only a few truckers were inside, quietly sipping coffee, while a handful of bikers had taken shelter from the storm.

Big Mike sat in his usual corner booth, his large arms covered in tattoos. His leather vest bore the patches of his club, the Iron Ravens, a sign of loyalty he carried everywhere. At six-foot-three and 280 pounds, he looked intimidating—but tonight, he was about to be someone’s lifeline.

Quiet sobbing came from the bathrooms, and it sounded like a cry for help. It was so quiet that most people wouldn’t have picked it up, but not Mike.

A little girl stepped out, barefoot and trembling. She had bruises all over her arms and face.

Quietly, she approached the vending machine, trying to find some coins and get something ti eat.

“Hey there,” Mike said softly, trying not to scare her. “You hungry?”

But she did get scared. “Please… don’t let him find me,” she whispered.

Mike’s heart sank. “Who’s going to find you?”

“My stepdad… he… he hurt my mama. He’ll hurt me too if I go back,” the girl said, obviously afraid of the man she was hiding from.

Mike clenched his fist but remained calm. “You’re safe now. Nobody’s taking you anywhere you don’t want to go.”

The words kept coming from the girl’s mouth, and Mike got to hear how her stepdad killed her mother and how he threatened her. His eyes were wide with disbelief, but he saw that she was telling the truth. His club members around the diner had by now noticed and had quietly moved closer.

At that moment, a woman came out of the nearby booth, Dr. Sarah Chen, a child psychologist. She had only come in for coffee, but once she saw what was going on, she knelt next to the girl. “Can you tell me what’s going on?”

The child spoke of the abuse she had suffered, and Mike yelled, “You’re not going back there. Not tonight.”

Dr. Chen called in Child Protective Services for emergency assistance while Mike offered his home and support from his club. These men, who were so easily misunderstood, had seen trauma before and now used their strength to protect her.

By morning, the girl was safe in Mike’s own home, wrapped in blankets with food and a warm bed. While Mike cooked and cleaned with help from club members, their calming presence also provided moral support for the girl.

Gradually, she learned that some adults could be trusted; family wasn’t always about blood – it was about those who showed up when it mattered.

As the authorities investigated, Mike and the Iron Ravens provided a caring environment and stability. The little girl began healing, smiling, and trusting again. Mike began to realize that real strength wasn’t all about being tough; it was being there for the ones who couldn’t stand up for themselves.

My in-laws asked me to exclude my nephew from our wedding because of his scars

Weddings can be nerve-racking, yet full of joy at the same time. The most important thing is to spend that special day with the people who matter most.

For a Reddit user, Jack, 30, those special people were his sister and his nephew Leo, who traveled a long way to be by his side on the day he was marrying his wife Emily.

The wedding wasn’t a huge one, with only 80 people in attendance.

Jack chose his nephew Leo, 9, to be his best man — the young boy has been through so much after he was attacked by dogs and was left scared for life.

Although he was still a boy, he was aware that people stared, and that made him uncomfortable, but he truly wanted to be by his uncle’s side on his special day.

The wedding was about to start and Emily was about to take the walk down the aisle any moment, when her parents, Patricia and Gerald, pulled Jack aside.

They were visibly disturbed, and Jack had no idea why. And that’s when they started yelling at him.

“Get your nephew out of here. He’s scaring the rest of the children,” his MIL said.

Jake couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Still shocked by Patricia’s words, Gerald said, “He’s ruining the pictures. Tell them to leave. It’s our daughter’s special day, not for distractions.”

Jack was shocked. “You want me to kick my nephew out just because of his scars?”

But his in-laws didn’t hesitate. “Jack, it’s either your sister and your nephew or us.”

Jack got even more furious because of their ridiculous demand. But before he could even respond, Leo overheard and asked softly, “Did I do something wrong?”

“You did nothing wrong. You’re perfect,” Jack said, struggling to contain both his tears and his anger.

At that moment, he noticed Emily had already approached them. She had heard everything.

“Are you really asking Jack to send his nephew away? He’s family!” she told her parents. “And since you are forcing my husband to make a choice, I’ll make it for him. Leo stays, and you are free to leave. Now!”

Patricia and Gerald felt offended and left the church.

Emily knelt beside Leo and smiled, “Why don’t we start over? This time, you lead me to the altar.”

The ceremony went on, with Leo proudly by Jack and Emily as they exchanged vows. At the reception, he played with the other kids, proving there was nothing to be scared of, while Jack danced with Emily, realising that what truly makes a family is love and acceptance, not appearances.

It was a perfect day, surrounded by the people who truly mattered.

Melania Trump breaks silence with new official White House statement

Melania Trump is one of those people who is simply captivating. From the moment she started her modeling career in the US, she has attracted the attention of many, and becoming the wife of one of the most influential business moguls, Donald Trump, has only heightened her presence on the world stage.

The First Lady’s elegance, poise, and distinctive style have made her a constant figure in the public eye, admired by many for her grace and sophistication.

Many agree that Melania Trump is an intriguing person, and her new official portrait — released a day after her husband was sworn president for the second time — proved that to be true yet again.

The portrait was shot at the White House, showing the former model wearing a dark business suit and white shirt as she rests her hands on a reflective table in the Yellow Oval Room.

Through the White House’s opulent windows, the Washington Monument rises in the background, adding historical weight to the image.

The portrait was captured by Belgian photographer Régine Mahaux, who has been photographing the Trump family for over two decades. She also took Mrs. Trump’s official portrait back in 2017, during her husband’s first term in office.

“I was really honoured to be chosen to shoot this official portrait for the second time,” Ms Mahaux told the BBC.

“As an artist to work with such an inspiring woman is a great privilege. She is a perfectionist and is really involved in the creative process.”

The portrait triggered mixed reaction, with some agreeing that Melania looks as stunning as ever, and others criticizing her pose and even choice of outfit.

“I swear she’s looking more and more like her husband,” one person commented. “Why am I seeing a Donald Trump hard eye glare??” another questioned.

A third remarked, “She looks like a female version of her husband.”

“Why does she pose like she’s the president? SHE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT 💀,” wrote one user.

As expected, there were those who found the portrait beautiful and classy.

“The choice of black and white highlights a timeless, classic strength. She chose to shoot in front of the Washington Monument. I wonder if she plans to be more active in Trump’s second term,” noted another user.

Melania has consistently shaped her public image with precision, keeping herself apart from day-to-day politics while stepping forward at carefully chosen moments. Her latest portrait underscores that balance — style used as a statement, presence as power.

Charlie Kirk’s wife addressed the nation with emotional video statement

The tragic death of Charlie Kirk, the right-wing influencer and founder of Turning Point USA, sent shockwaves around the country and beyond.

He was tragically shot in the neck during a debate at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Kirk was then rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The news of his tragic passing was announced by President Donald Trump himself who took to Truth Social to express his sadness over losing a very good friend.

“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Trump wrote.

AP

The FBI revealed on September 11 that it had recovered the rifle tied to Kirk’s killing and shared images of the suspect. Police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from Utah the next day. After his arrest, Erika Kirk broke her silence and spoke about her late husband.

Charlie Kirk’s wife addressed the nation in a livestream from Turning Point USA’s Phoenix studio, right next to the chair her husband had used for his podcast.

The grieving widow thanked emergency services for their quick response in trying to save her husband’s life. She also thanked the White House and Vice President JD Vance and his wife for “bringing [Charlie] home.”

Erika then expressed her gratitude to President Donald Trump, whom her husband had backed for years. In fact, it was Charlie Kirk who played a major role in boosting voter turnout for Trump and other Republican candidates in the last election, with many crediting him for registering tens of thousands of new voters and helping flip Arizona in Trump’s favour.

Kirk attended Trump’s inauguration and was a frequent visitor of the White House during both Trump’s terms.

“Mr President, my husband loved you. And he knew that you loved him too,” Erika said in her speech, wowing to continue her husband’s legacy and “make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen.”

Erika went on to say that Kirk loved America, nature, and the Chicago Cubs baseball team, but ‘most of all’, he ‘loved his children’, adding: “And he loved me. With all his heart. And he made sure I knew that everyday.”

She said she didn’t know how to explain her daughter that her father was no longer there, saying she told the three-year-old girl, “Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don’t you worry. He’s on a work trip with Jesus.”

AP

Erika added that the reason her husband was killed was because he “preached a message of patriotism, faith and of God’s merciful love.

“You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife, the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.

“They should all know this: if you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before you have no idea, you have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world.”

She continued, “In a world filled with chaos, doubt and uncertainty, my husband’s voice will remain and it will ring out louder and more clearly than ever and his wisdom will endure.”

Just hours before the tragic incident unfolded, Erika posted a message on the social media that read, read: “Psalm 46:1 – God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Update on Charlie Kirk’s wife Erika and how she’s doing after her husband’s death

Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s wife, is going through the unimaginable. Following her husband’s assassination, she and her children, daughter, 3, and son, just 16 months old, are barely coping with the reality of losing the man who meant the world to them.

Charlie Kirk will be remembered as someone who wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. The right-wing influencer and founder of Turning Point USA was always open to discussions, and his life was cut short during one held at Utah Valley University.

On September 11, President Donal Trump, who considered Charlie Kirk a “very, very, good friend,” offered an update on how Erika is coping after personally speaking to her following the tragedy.

Trump told CNN journalist Kaitlan Collins that “[Erika’s] absolutely devastated.” 

On Thursday, Charlie Kirk’s casket was flown back to Arizona aboard Air Force Two, marking a solemn final journey for the conservative activist. When the plane landed in Phoenix, Kirk’s widow, Erika, emerged alongside Second Lady Usha Vance, both dressed in black and moving slowly down the steps. Vice President JD Vance followed close behind. Erika kept her eyes lowered, clutching a rosary in her hand, a small source of strength in the midst of grief.

From the backseat of an SUV, Erika offered a quiet wave to supporters, still holding the rosary tightly in her hand.

While she has stayed largely private, many of Charlie’s friends and public allies have expressed their grief online.

Instagram

Savannah Chrisley, a longtime friend and Turning Point USA member, wrote on Instagram, “I can’t believe I’m even writing these words… Charlie Kirk changed my life… Instead, I sit here with a broken heart, devastated beyond words.”

On behalf of him and his wife Michelle Obama, Former President Barack Obama posted on X, “We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.

“Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.”

AP

Kamala Harris shared her condolences, writing, “Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family.

“Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.”

Donald Trump Jr. shared a heartfelt note about his close bond with Kirk.

“Charlie wasn’t just a friend—he was like a little brother to me—and to millions of people around the world. He was a true inspiration.

Trump Jr. added, “We’ve lost a leader, a fighter, and a man whose character and conviction were rare. Too rare. To think that his life was cut short by a brutal, heinous, evil act is beyond comprehension.”

Instagram

Erika Kirk shared moving images of her final goodbye, weeping as she held her husband’s hand at his casket.

The conservative activist lay in a polished wooden casket, dressed in a dark suit and red tie.

The grieving widow could be heard whispering, “Oh I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you. God bless you,” the Daily Mail reported.

Standing by Charlie’s empty chair at his studio, Erika pledged to continue his work during an online address.

“Charlie, I promise I will never let your legacy die, baby,’ she said. ‘I promise I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen.”

She then thanked President Trump for his friendship to her late husband, and expressed her gratitude to Vice President JD Vance and his wife for “bringing him home.”

Jack Posobiec, a Turning Point USA contributor, described the heartbreak the family is going through: “Erika is unbelievably strong. At the same time someone’s going to have to explain to his son and daughter why their dad didn’t come home yesterday… Erika is a prayer warrior, her and Charlie are very devout believers, they are very very deeply Christian. When you see the cameras turn off, the lights go down, they immediately go back to faith – this is something they live 24/7.

“It is not something that only exists in front of the camera, that is something that they absolutely walk every single day. Because they have that firm reliance in faith, Erika has that ability to be able to go through this with that kind of strength that really only comes from heaven.”

Charlie Kirk’s haunting 2014 tweet resurfaces after his death

People on social media believe Charlie Kirk—the right-wing influencer and founder of Turning Point USA who was killed while hosting a debate at Utah Valley University—predicted his own death after a tweet from 11 years ago resurfaced online.

Disturbing footage from the scene shows Kirk flinching in his seat as the crowd of around 3,000 people erupted in panic. Many who were there have since recounted the terrifying moment.

“We all dropped to the ground, and I want to say we sat like that for about 30 to 45 seconds, and then everyone around us got up and started running,” Emma Pitts, a reporter for Deseret News who attended the debate in Utah, told the BBC.

AP

In the wake of Kirk’s tragic killing, a tweet from 2014 in which many believed he predicted his assassination resurfaced on the social media.

In it, he wrote, “Did I just get shot by an AR-15? Feels like it.”

The AR-15, Kirk mentioned in his tweet, is one of the most common rifles in America, with an estimated 25 million in civilian circulation. It has also been repeatedly linked to mass shootings across the country.

However, investigators have not confirmed if an AR-15 was involved in this case. Instead, police say they recovered a Mauser .30-caliber bolt-action rifle from nearby woods, wrapped in a towel. A spent cartridge was still in the chamber, with three more rounds in the magazine. The rifle and ammunition are now undergoing federal analysis.

Kirk’s followers pointed to the resurfaced post after his death, with one of them writing, “How did he know,” while another wrote: “Twitter done told the future.”

Instagram

The suspect in Charlie Kirk’s shooting has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was arrested two days after the 31-year-old Trump ally was killed.

According to authorities, it was Robinson’s father, a former law enforcement officer, who turned him in.

Erika Kirk’s words haunt everyone after husband Charlie Kirk is assassinated

Charlie Kirk, the progressive force behind Turning Point USA —one of the largest student-focused political groups in the country — was roughly 20 minutes into his speech at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, when a gunshot struck him in the neck. Footage from the event shows Kirk collapsing backward as blood poured from the wound.

He was rushed to a hospital, but was later pronounced dead. The news of his passing was shared by President Donald Trump who considered Kirk “a very, very good friend.”

“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

AP

As of now, no suspects have been arrested.

Kirk leaves behind wife Erika and their two children, a daughter, 3, and a son, just 16 months old.

The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in May. They tied the knot in 2021 with what Erika described as a “very intimate” ceremony in Arizona, keeping things simple without bridesmaids, groomsmen, or even a bachelorette party.

She wrote at the time, “Slow down. It’s one day; yes it marks a new chapter of life. Yes, it symbolizes a special covenant between you, your husband and the Lord. But remember it’s the days afterward that matter more.”

Instagram

Just weeks before his death, Charlie and Erika appeared on Fox & Friends with their children. A widely shared clip showed their daughter sprinting across the studio floor into Charlie’s arms as he lifted her up mid-broadcast.

Mere hours before the tragedy that took her husband away from her and her children, Erika Kirk posted a verse from Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Instagram

Following Kirk’s tragic shooting, Erika was sent prayers and condolences on social media

“Your husband is with Jesus. He was a hero and an inspiration. You will see him again, although I know that is no consolation to you and your precious babies right now.

“I’m so sorry that you are going through this. Evil is rampant in this country,”one person wrote.

Another said that the “Christians of this nation are praying for you and your family,” while a third commented: “Jesus is holding you in his warm embrace. We are heartbroken.”

Instagram

Running her own ministry and faith-based clothing brand, Erika had stayed quiet on social media until just two days before the tragic event. A post from the day before read: “Psalm 34:8 – Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”

As the nation grieves Charlie Kirk, Erika’s story serves as a reminder of the struggle of coping with loss under the public eye. While media and political commentators speculate about Turning Point USA’s future, few could truly grasp her daily reality: cherishing her husband’s legacy while keeping her family’s life moving forward.
