Per court documents, the person allegedly involved in the attack targeting conservative commentator Charlie Kirk exchanged multiple text messages with their housemate after the occurrence.
Prosecutors indicated that the housemate informed law enforcement that the accused had instructed him to look under a computer accessory where a message was apparently located.
Law enforcement disclosed that the individual was a transgender male and maintained a close bond with the suspect.
Here is is the full record of the messaging thread that unfolded on the day of the incident, submitted by the individual to investigators.
Digital Log
Accused: pause your activities, check beneath my keyboard.
When the roommate looked below the device, a written statement was located that reportedly said: "There was the opportunity to take out the commentator and I'm going to take it."
Housemate: "Are you serious? You must be kidding, aren’t you?
Suspect: I’m unharmed my love, though I’m delayed in the city some additional time. Soon enough before I return, though I must grab my rifle first. Honestly I had hoped to conceal this until my death. My regrets to involve you.
Roommate: you weren't the one who did it was it?
Individual: I am, apologies
Roommate: I thought they arrested the person?
Accused: incorrect, they apprehended some crazy old dude, then questioned someone in similar clothing. I meant to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of the region got locked down. It’s calm, close to allowing to leave, but theres one vehicle remaining.
Roommate: What for?
Accused: Why did I do it?
Housemate: Yeah
Individual: I reached my limit of the negativity. Certain animosity is not talked away.
Individual: Should I manage get my gun without notice, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to recover it, hopefully they have departed. I did not notice any information regarding its discovery.
Housemate: For what duration did you preparing for this?
Accused: approximately a week in my estimation. I can get close to it yet there’s an official car stationed nearby. I believe they already swept that place, but I don't wanna chance it.
Suspect: I'm wishing I had circled back to retrieve it immediately after I arrived at my transport.... It troubles me how my father might say should I fail to bring back the inherited gun ... I don’t even know whether it contained a serial number, but it wouldn't link back to me. I worry about traces I deposited the item in shrubs where I changed clothing. lacked the ability or time to carry it along.... I may need to leave it behind and wish authorities miss fingerprints. how the [expletive] should I rationalize its loss to my father....
the single object I abandoned was the rifle concealed in cloth....
remember how I was engraving ammunition? Those communications are largely a joke, should I notice certain phrases on news platforms I could experience a shock okay, I will abandon it, that is disappointing.... from the events I believe the inherited weapon works well idk. I believe that might be a high-end lens;-;
Accused: delete this exchange
Suspect: dad wants pictures of the gun ... he claims grandpa wants to know regarding possession, federal agents published a photo of the rifle, which is quite distinct. Hes calling me rn, ignoring the call.
Suspect: after the election got into office [my dad] has been extremely devoted an adherent.
Suspect: I will turn myself in voluntarily, one of my neighbors happens to be an officer in the department.
Suspect: you remain what troubles me dear
Roommate: I'm much more concerned for your well-being
Suspect: avoid speaking with journalists please. avoid accepting media appearances or provide statements. ... should law enforcement question you demand legal counsel and stay silent
