Tributes pour in for Charlie Kirk, shot at a rally; suspect charged with murder as vigils gather nationwide.
Tributes are flowing in outside Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Phoenix, where supporters have left flags, signs and flowers in memory of Charlie Kirk. The conservative activist was shot and killed on September 10 during a rally in Utah.
Authorities have now formally charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with aggravated murder and several related offences. Prosecutors announced they will seek the death penalty, citing the evidence linking Robinson to the weapon used in the attack.
As the investigation continues, vigils and memorials have spread across the United States and abroad. Supporters say Kirk’s influence on conservative politics will be remembered for decades, while critics warn the case will fuel already polarised debate across the country.
