Suspect in Kirk killing confessed and voiced regret, his former partner says

July 10, 2026

When Tyler Robinson came home on the day of Charlie Kirk’s killing, “he started crying a little bit,” Robinson’s former partner said in an interview with investigators. “And said he wishes he hadn’t done it.”

The interview was the centerpiece of a trove of evidence that prosecutors disclosed in a Provo, Utah, court on Thursday during a hearing to determine whether Mr. Robinson, 23, will face trial.

Four men are pictured from behind, sitting in a courtroom with notepads and binders in front of them.
