Kash Patel Reveals Shooter’s Chilling Final Note

Before leaving his apartment to commit murder, Tyler Robinson—the 22-year-old accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk—allegedly left behind a chilling note laying out his intent.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed on Fox News that forensic investigators have recovered evidence of the destroyed message. “The written note did exist, and we have evidence to show what was in that note,” Patel said.

According to Patel, the note declared: “‘I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.’ That note was written before the shooting.”

Authorities say the message was destroyed inside the home Robinson shared with his live-in partner, described as his transgender lover. Still, forensic experts recovered enough material to confirm the text. Patel credited “aggressive” FBI interviews for breaking open key details of the case, even as Robinson himself remains uncooperative under “special watch” in a Utah jail.

It is not clear if the note was intended for Robinson’s partner. Relatives told Fox News that the roommate “hated conservatives and Christians” and had long expressed radical left-wing views, though they have turned over evidence implicating Robinson in Kirk’s assassination.

“He hates conservatives and Christians,” one female relative said. “He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized.” The family member added that his behavior had grown “progressively worse” in the last two years, marked by anger and hostility.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Sunday that Robinson had embraced a “leftist ideology” and that investigators are probing whether his relationship with his roommate further fueled his radicalization.

Patel also disclosed that detectives uncovered DNA evidence directly tying Robinson to the sniper’s nest where Kirk was killed.

The investigation has been complicated by a bizarre twist. Police arrested 71-year-old George Zinn, a local activist and self-described gadfly, who falsely claimed responsibility for Kirk’s murder in the immediate aftermath.

According to Fox 13 Utah, Zinn approached officers after the shooting and shouted, “I shot him, now shoot me!” He was quickly restrained, though chaotic video showed him being dragged away by police as the crowd jeered, believing he was the killer.

During questioning, Zinn admitted he had not killed Kirk but claimed he wanted to create a distraction “to draw attention from the real shooter.” He allegedly told investigators he hoped to become a “martyr for the person who was shot.”

Police said the stunt hindered the investigation at a critical time and wasted valuable manpower. Zinn has since been charged with obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony.

Despite the chaos, Patel insists the evidence against Robinson is “overwhelming” and paints a clear picture of premeditated political violence against one of America’s most prominent conservative voices.
