Prosecutors filed murder charges today against Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk.

• He could face the death penalty if he's convicted. He's also facing a gun charge that could carry life in prison and a charge of obstructing justice, with a penalty of up to 15 years in prison.

Authorities released text messages in which Robinson appeared to confess to killing Kirk and discussed planning the shooting.

• "Why did I do it? I had enough of his hatred," the suspected shooter wrote to his roommate.
• The messages indicate that Robinson had been planning the shooting for a "bit over a week."

Robinson's DNA was found on the rifle used in the shooting, authorities said. He texted about attempting to retrieve the weapon before he was caught:

• "I haven't seen anything about them finding it," he wrote.
