Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot on September 10, 2025 at an outdoor Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The shooting was reported at about 12:23 p.m. MDT and witnesses said Kirk collapsed after a single round to the neck.
Investigators recovered a high-powered bolt-action rifle near the campus. The FBI offered a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to identification and arrest.

Tyler James Robinson, on September 12, 2025, and Utah prosecutors charged him with aggravated murder and multiple related counts on September 16, 2025; prosecutors announced they will seek the death penalty.
