Below is the full record of the text exchange that took place on the date of the shooting, as provided by the witness to the police.
Text Message Conversation
Individual: stop what you’re doing, look under my keyboard.
Upon checking below the device, a note was located that reportedly read: "I had the chance to take out the figure and I plan to do it."
Witness: "Are you serious? You're joking, aren’t you?
Individual: I’m fine my love, but am stuck in this area for a little while longer. It won’t take much time until I can come home, though I must get my gun first. To be honest I intended to conceal this through my life. My regrets for dragging you in.
Housemate: you didn’t the one who did it was it?
Accused: It was me, I'm sorry
Roommate: I thought they arrested the person?
Accused: negative, they grabbed some crazy elderly man, then questioned a person in similar clothing. I meant to get my gun from the hiding spot shortly after, though a large part of that side got locked down. Things are silent, almost enough to escape, yet there is one vehicle lingering.
Housemate: Why?
Suspect: Why would I act?
Roommate: Correct
Individual: I grew tired of his hatred. Certain animosity can't be negotiated out.
Suspect: Assuming I can to grab my rifle without notice, there would be zero traces. Intending to effort to retrieve it again, perhaps authorities left the area. I did not notice anything about it being located.
Housemate: For what duration were you preparing for this?
Individual: approximately one week I believe. I can get close the spot but there is an official car parked right by it. I think they inspected the area, however, I cannot risk it.
Suspect: I regret I had circled back and taken it right when I got to my vehicle.... I am concerned what dad might say if I didn't hand back grandpas rifle ... unsure if there was an identification code, though it may not trace to me. I am anxious regarding prints I had to leave the weapon in vegetation when I switched clothing. lacked the ability or time to carry it along.... I might have to abandon it and pray it is not discovered evidence. in what manner should I rationalize losing it to my father....
the sole item I left was the rifle covered in fabric....
remember how I marked rounds? Those communications are mostly a big meme, were I to view "notices bulge uwu" on fox new I could experience a shock well, I must abandon it, that really [expletive] sucks.... from today I'd say grandpas gun performs adequately idk. I think that could have been a $2k scope;-;
Individual: delete this exchange
Accused: dad wants pictures of the weapon ... he claims the elder is curious who has what, federal agents released a picture of the rifle, that is very unique. Hes calling me right now, not answering.
Individual: after the election took position [my dad] turned pretty diehard maga.
Accused: I will give myself up willingly, one of my neighbors happens to be an officer for the sheriff.
Individual: you are what troubles me love
Roommate: I'm much more concerned for you
Accused: don't talk to news outlets I ask. avoid accepting any interviews or provide any comments. ... should law enforcement ask you questions ask for a lawyer and say nothing
