Prosecutors said that the 22 year-old man accused of killing Charlie Kirk had texted his romantic partner: “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”
In a TV interview, Kash Patel, the director of the F.B.I., said investigators had found physical evidence connecting the suspected gunman with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk in Utah.
Before he was arrested on suspicion of carrying out the assassination, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson sent friends messages showing that he was closely following news about the killing.
Tyler Robinson, the man accused of shooting Charlie Kirk, was a stellar student in high school, raised in a Republican home in Southwest Utah and training to be an electrician.
Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, said that the agency’s investigation was continuing, reversing his earlier announcement that someone had been apprehended.
