The killing of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative influencer and ally of Donald Trump, has sparked heated debate in American politics. Kirk was shot on September 10, 2025 while speaking at a university in Utah.
The suspect has been identified as Tyler Robinson, 22 years old. According to Utah Governor Spencer Cox, the suspect has a romantic relationship with a transgender partner and has a leftist ideology based on information from family and friends.
Cox said the suspect's partner is cooperating with the investigation and had no knowledge of the shooting plan. He added that they are continuing to examine whether the issue of gender identity is related to the motive for the murder.
Kirk is a well-known critic of the transgender movement. He recently called it a “trans delusion death cult.” This has further fueled debate over whether his strong statements against gender ideology are connected to his murder.
A memorial service for Kirk is scheduled to be held in Arizona on September 21, 2025, and is expected
