“He Knew Something Was Coming”: The Chilling Texts Charlie Kirk Sent Before His Death

It started with a text message — a few words that now feel like a prophecy.

According to Candace Owens, just 24 hours before his death, Charlie Kirk sent a series of messages to close friends and colleagues warning that he “thought he was going to be killed.”

Those messages, she says, were not vague fears. They were specific. Direct. And deeply unsettling.

“He said, ‘They’re going to kill me,’” Owens revealed during her latest livestream. “He didn’t say maybe. He didn’t say he felt unsafe. He said it like a man who already knew what was coming.”

For months, the nation has been trying to make sense of Charlie Kirk’s sudden and violent death — a tragedy that sent shockwaves through conservative circles and beyond.

Now, with these newly surfaced messages, many are asking a haunting question: Did Charlie Kirk know what was about to happen to him?

A Final Warning

Owens claims she’s spoken with three separate sources who confirmed that Charlie sent the same warning message to each of them in the hours before he died.
The alleged texts, she says, were found in an encrypted chat, and screenshots have since been reviewed by independent journalists.

In one, Charlie reportedly wrote, “If anything happens to me, check the books.”

In another, he mentioned “pressure from upstairs,” a phrase Owens believes referred to financial backers inside Turning Point USA — the organization Kirk founded and led for over a decade.

While the authenticity of the messages has not been officially confirmed, their timing — and their tone — has fueled a growing belief that Kirk’s death may not have been random.

The Man Who Built a Movement

To understand why these messages matter, you have to understand who Charlie Kirk was.

At just 30 years old, Kirk had become one of the most influential figures in conservative America.

He built Turning Point USA from a college activism project into a multimillion-dollar political powerhouse, known for its fiery campus events, viral media presence, and close ties to Washington’s conservative elite.

But in recent months, Owens says, Kirk had changed. He’d become more cautious, more withdrawn.

According to her, he was growing frustrated with what he called “unseen hands” inside the movement — people who, in his view, had gained too much control over its finances and direction.

“He was tired of pretending,” Owens said. “He told me he was done being the poster boy for people who didn’t believe in transparency.”.

Owens now claims Kirk had quietly commissioned an internal audit of TPUSA’s accounts — a move she says created tension among key donors and executives. Within days of launching that audit, he was dead.

The “Tyler Robinson Theory”

The official investigation into Kirk’s death identified Tyler Robinson, a former security contractor, as the primary suspect. But Owens has publicly rejected that theory.

“Tyler didn’t kill Charlie,” she said flatly in a recent interview. “He’s a scapegoat. Someone needed a name to close the file — and they gave them Tyler.”

Owens argues that the case against Robinson doesn’t add up. Surveillance cameras in the event venue were reportedly disabled during the critical moments before the shooting.

Entry logs were incomplete. And, most disturbingly, Robinson somehow gained access to a “private exit route” that wasn’t listed on any official layout.

“How does a man with no clearance know exactly where to stand?” Owens asked. “How does he disappear from a scene surrounded by cameras in a country obsessed with surveillance? It doesn’t make sense.”

Her conclusion is simple — and explosive: “This wasn’t a random act. Charlie’s death was part of something organized.”

The Financial Trail

Owens insists the motive behind the alleged plot lies in the money — and specifically, in what Kirk may have uncovered.

“He was tracing donations,” she explained. “He found large sums being routed through shell accounts, some offshore, others under fake nonprofit names. He told me, ‘If I go public with this, they’ll destroy me.’ I didn’t realize at the time how literal he meant that.”

Owens claims she’s obtained fragments of what she calls “audit correspondence” — emails between Kirk and an unnamed accountant referring to “questionable transfers” and “unverified expenditures.”

In one of the messages allegedly written by Kirk, he mentions “pushback from donors” who were “deeply uncomfortable” with his push for transparency. Another referenced “pressure from people who think they own the movement.”

Owens says these messages were sent just five days before his death.

The Widow’s Silence

At the center of the storm is Erica Kirk, Charlie’s widow. Once seen as the embodiment of grace and resilience, she has remained largely silent amid the growing controversy.

Her only public statement came weeks after his death, calling for “unity and respect for the grieving process.”

But her silence, Owens argues, has only deepened suspicion.

“She’s not talking because she’s afraid,” Owens suggested. “I don’t think she’s guilty — I think she knows something she’s not ready to say.”

Supporters of Erica have condemned Owens’s remarks as insensitive and speculative, accusing her of exploiting tragedy for attention.

But even her critics admit one thing: Owens has forced uncomfortable questions into the open.

A Country Divided

The fallout from these revelations has been swift and fierce.
Conservatives across America are now split — not just over the truth of Owens’s claims, but over what they represent.

Some see her as a whistleblower, risking her reputation to expose corruption within her own movement. Others see her as a provocateur, turning grief into conspiracy for clicks and clout.

Meanwhile, the FBI has declined to comment on whether it is investigating the alleged financial irregularities or the authenticity of Kirk’s messages.

What cannot be denied, however, is that Owens’s claims have reignited a sense of paranoia and distrust within the conservative base — a community already fractured by internal rivalries and public scandals.

The Message That Haunts

For millions watching from the sidelines, the most chilling detail remains that text message: “If I disappear, check the books.”

It’s short. Simple. And impossible to forget.

Whether it’s proof of a cover-up or merely the desperate words of a man under immense pressure, it has become the defining symbol of a movement at war with itself.

Owens says she won’t stop until the full truth comes out. “People can call me crazy, dramatic, obsessed — I don’t care,” she said. “If Charlie saw this coming, and no one listened, then we all failed him.”

She paused for a moment, her voice catching slightly.
“He wasn’t just my friend. He was trying to save something bigger than himself. And now it’s on us to finish what he started.”

A Prophecy, or a Warning?

Whether Charlie Kirk truly foresaw his own death remains uncertain.
But the evidence — the texts, the warnings, the unease in his final days — paints a picture of a man surrounded by growing shadows.

Perhaps he sensed danger closing in. Perhaps he misread the storm. Or perhaps, as Owens believes, he knew exactly what was coming — and tried, in his final hours, to leave behind a trail of truth.

Whatever the case, his last words echo louder now than ever before.

And for a nation divided by suspicion and fear, one question refuses to fade:

What if Charlie Kirk was right all along?
