Erika Kirk Takes Helm at Turning Point USA as Prosecutors Press Capital Case in Husband’s Killing

Authorities are building a capital case on rifle and digital evidence, with the shooter’s motive still unestablished.

Overview

  • Turning Point USA’s board unanimously named Erika Kirk CEO and chair, citing Charlie Kirk’s prior wishes, and she vowed to continue the group’s campus tour.
  • Suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, surrendered days after the Sept. 10 shooting and now faces aggravated counts as prosecutors seek the death penalty.
  • Investigators report recovering a scoped Mauser rifle, bullet casings engraved with messages, and digital logs and notes that link Robinson to the attack.
  • A public funeral is scheduled Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with President Donald Trump slated to attend alongside senior officials.
  • Media fallout continues as ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late‑night show; the White House denies applying pressure while FCC commissioner Brendan Carr’s comments have prompted concern from both parties.
