    Candace Owens has revealed the six-word text Charlie Kirk allegedly sent to a friend the night before his assassination.

    Kirk was killed in September after being fatally shot in the neck at a Turning Point USA event. He'd been answering a question about gun violence from someone in the crowd at Utah Valley University at the time of the tragic incident.

    Tyler Robinson, 22, has since been charged with his death. He is yet to enter a plea, and a three-day preliminary hearing has been set to begin on May 18, 2026.

    Three months on from his death, and people are still talking about Kirk's assassination.

    One person in particular who has discussed his death at length is Candace Owens, an American political commentator and ally of Kirk's.

    On her podcast, Owens has been peddling conspiracy theories about Kirk's assassination, which has caused friction between her and Kirk's widow, Erika.

    Erika issued a plea asking for Owens to stop with the ongoing commentary, and it didn't take long for the podcaster to clap back.

    However, it looks like Owens and Erika are now on better terms after the pair sat down for a private meeting this week, which Erika hailed as 'productive'.

    Owens echoed similar sentiments, writing on social media: "Erika and I had an extremely productive 4 1/2 hour meeting that I think we both feel should have taken place a lot earlier than it did.

    "We agreed much more than I had anticipated. Of course, we also disagreed on various points and people as well. Most importantly, we were able to share intel and clarify intent."

    Now, Owens has divulged more information about their chat and discussed her previous claims about Kirk having sent text messages where he expressed fear for his life on the day leading up to his death.

    One haunting message to Andrew Kolvet supposedly read: "They are going to kill me."

    Owens remained steadfast that this was correct, but Erika had argued otherwise.

    Another message said to have been sent to Dan Flood read: "The Left is going to kill me."

    However, following their recent discussions, Erika allegedly admitted that while there were no iMessages from her late husband, she has since reviewed Kirk's Signal/Telegram messages and found the things Owens claims he'd said.

    Owens went on the explain in a YouTube livestream shared on December 16 that she has not seen the messages for herself, but Kolvet and Flood told her directly about the worrying messages they'd received.

    UNILAD have approached Erika Kirk's rep for comment.
