Mourners honor Charlie Kirk on Utah Candlelight vigil
The murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk led to vigils and gatherings across the country to honor him.
According to Turning Point USA, the public ceremony for late conservative activist Charlie Kirk is scheduled to take place in Arizona on Sunday, September 21st.
The nonprofit advocating for conservative politics on high school, college and university campuses has announced a morning event at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and shared an X-Post announcing the morning event to celebrate the life of Kirk, who was assassinated in Utah earlier this week.
“Celebrate the incredible life and enduring legacy of American legend Charlie Kirk,” details the services being held at the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals home.
Kirk, 31, was killed while speaking on Wednesday, September 10th at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. Two days later, the suspected shooter was publicly identified by authorities as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was taken into custody on Thursday night, September 11th, more than 24 hours after Kirk’s murder. According to Christopher Ballard of the Utah County Lawyer’s Office, prosecutors are expected to formally filed against Robinson when he appeared in his first court on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
The doors will open at Kirk’s additional service ceremony at 8am Mountain Standard Time (MST), and the program is expected to start at 11am.
