A former roommate of Tyler Robinson, who is accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, told prosecutors that just a day after the shooting, Robinson expressed regret, and said he would hand himself over to police.

That’s according to a video interview played in court during a hearing for Robinson, who could face the death penalty if convicted.

A report posted at the Daily Signal explains Lance Twiggs was brought to testify as prosecutors make the case they have enough evidence.

Robinson is facing seven criminal charges including aggravated murder and prosecutors have declined to remove their option to seek the death penalty.

Kirk, 31, a prominent ally of President Donald Trump, was shot in the neck and killed during an appearance at Utah Valley University.

In the April 20 interview, which was partially redacted on the orders of District Judge Tony Graf, Utah County prosecutor Ryan McBride asked Twiggs about text messages he exchanged with Robinson in the hours after Kirk was killed on Sept. 10, 2025, the report said.

In the text messages, which have previously been made public, Robinson allegedly admitted to Twiggs that he shot Kirk.

Twiggs said, on video, “I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was. He started crying a little bit and said he wishes he hadn’t done it.”

Twiggs did the interview instead of testifying live at the hearing, and for a grant of immunity.

The report explained, “Text messages presented by prosecutors show that Twiggs asked Robinson why he shot Kirk, and he replied: ‘I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.'”
