Conservative Icon Charlie Kirk Assassinated: A Literal “Turning Point” For the Nation

Sept. 15, 2025


On September 10th, 31-year-old conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot in the neck during a Turning Point USA event titled "American Comeback" at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. In an bizarre twist of fate, the shot came from a rooftop about 200 yards away shortly after Kirk addressed a question on transgender issues and mass shootings.


The Utah Medical Examiner’s Office issued a press release stating “forensic evidence, including the projectile, was recovered for analysis.”

Authorities recovered a scoped .30-06 Mauser bolt-action rifle hidden in a wooded area nearby, wrapped in a towel, with casings engraved with anti-fascist, transgender, and furry kink references.

Local FBI agents did not notify Director Patel that they had photos and video of the suspect for nearly 12 hours, which Patel then released to the public immediately, leading to the identification of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the shooter, after a 33-hour manhunt. Robinson is being held without bail in Utah County Jail on charges including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, and obstruction of justice. He surrendered to authorities while in the custody of his father and a family friend. Robinson hasn't confessed and isn't cooperating. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

It has been revealed that Robinson was living with a boyfriend, in St. George about 4 hours away from the UVU campus, 22-year-old Lance Twiggs, who was transitioning from male to female. Twiggs has reportedly been “extremely cooperative” with the FBI, providing text messages and Discord communications where Robinson allegedly discussed engraving bullets, hiding the rifle, and changing clothes. Discord has stated that content does not exist on their platform. Twiggs may have destroyed a note from Robinson related to the shooting.

According to family and friends,Robinson had become indoctrinated into far left ideology, despite his parents being Republican Mormons, and had commented negatively about Kirk at a recent dinner.

Independent journalists have noted inconsistencies in the official narrative like the released text messages appear to be scripted or edited, and also notable oddities such as that men near Kirk appeared to be giving hand signals immediately prior to the fatal shot being fired, which raise questions that deserve an explanation.

Sources are now coming forward with additional information. Turning Point USA had been under a Biden era initiated investigation called “Arctic Frost”, and a member of “Armed Queers SLC (Salt Lake City)” linked to a State Department affiliated organization called “Utah Global Diplomacy” may be under investigation for foreknowledge of the political assassination, as well as other individuals.

The outpouring of grief for Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two young girls, was international, with countless candlelight vigils quickly organized. The outrage was somewhat bipartisan, with well known personalities on the left condemning the assassination and affirming that speech you disagree with is never cause for violence.

However, many on the left took to social media to celebrate, some even calling for more violence, but their posts were sent to their employers and hundreds have apparently lost their jobs.

Many conservatives and right-leaning moderates have expressed that this was just too much to bear and they no longer feel tolerance or apathy for the hate being levied against them. They have vowed to fight harder as the nation approaches the 2026 mid-term elections, and the interest in registering as a republican voter is quickly gaining momentum. The requests to start a local TPUSA chapter are off the chart and fence sitters want to know how they can get involved. Tyler Bowyer, Turning Point Chief Operating Officer and close personal friend of Kirk, declared “This is a war.”

Although their is no heir apparent to fill Kirk’s shoes, his legacy will live on through the many who have stepped up.

An official memorial for Charlie Kirk will be held on September 21st, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ. See:
