Who Killed Charlie Kirk? Vigils, Arrests & Big Questions

Charlie Kirk has been killed — and the country is reeling. Candlelight vigils erupted across campus towns and major cities as investigators raced to charge a suspect. Tonight I walk through what we know, what still doesn’t add up, and why this event has sparked both genuine grief and a flood of conspiracy theories.

In this episode I cover:

The shooting at Utah Valley University and the arrest of an alleged suspect.

Prosecutors are now seeking the death penalty in the case and formal charges have been announced.

Vigils and memorials held across the U.S. and abroad as supporters mourn.

Evidence released by authorities (texts, surveillance, digital traces) and early reporting on possible motive — plus why some details are making people suspicious.

The national fallout: social-media reaction, Pentagon and institutional responses, and calls for cooler heads.

Important: There are many competing narratives right now — verified reporting, unverified rumors, and outright conspiracy — so I separate confirmed evidence from speculation in this episode. I encourage viewers to look at the official announcements and proceed cautiously with unverified claims.

👉 If you want more on this: I’ll collect the official court filings, surveillance images, and prosecutors’ statements for a follow-up deep-dive.
