Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot in the neck by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, videos of which went viral worldwide. Robinson has been charged with first-degree murder and could face the death penalty by firing squad if convicted.
Robinson is accused of firing a single bullet from a rooftop, fatally hitting 31-year-old Kirk in the neck in front of thousands of people, in an episode that has deepened political divisions in an already polarized country. The most serious charge against Robinson is aggravated murder, while others include obstruction of justice and witness tampering, allegedly for ordering his roommate to stay silent.
Kirk, a father of two, used his audiences on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube to build support for conservative talking points, including strong criticism of the transgender rights movement.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday posthumously awarded Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Known for his outspoken views on gun control and women’s issues, Kirk’s death drew thousands to his funeral, including Musk and Trump.
