BREAKING: Turning Point USA has just announced the release of memorial merchandise honoring its late co-founder, Charlie Kirk, who was tragically shot and killed during a campus event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday. The group aims to celebrate Kirk’s legacy with three exclusive shirts available for $35 each.
The shocking incident has resulted in a significant outpouring of grief from supporters nationwide. Kirk, just 31 years old, was fatally shot during a question-and-answer session, prompting a swift response from law enforcement. President Donald Trump confirmed on Friday that authorities have apprehended the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who reportedly confessed to the crime.
Turning Point USA’s memorial shirts feature touching designs that reflect Kirk’s influence. One shirt showcases a line-art illustration of Kirk accompanied by the biblical scripture, “Here I am Lord, send me.” Another black shirt displays an image of the American flag with the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Charlie Kirk 1993-2025.” The third design depicts Kirk walking hand-in-hand with his family, underscored by the phrase, “Never surrender. Love, an American mother.”
Amid the tragedy, the situation has escalated with reports of merchandise linked to both Kirk and Robinson being sold online, drawing widespread attention.
In a heartfelt statement on Truth Social, Trump expressed, “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the heart of the youth in America better than Charlie.” He extended his condolences to Kirk’s wife, Erika, emphasizing the profound loss felt by many.
Looking ahead, Robinson remains in custody, charged with aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm. He is slated to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Utah County Attorney’s Office.
A memorial service for Kirk is scheduled for September 21, 2025, in Arizona, where Trump is expected to be in attendance. Turning Point Action stated that the event will unite students, supporters, and national leaders, including Trump, to honor Kirk and continue advocating for the principles he championed.
