Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk, spoke out in the early hours of September 13th, 2025, stating her husband is now with God and will wear the crown of a martyr. Simultaneously, vigils were held in New York City's Madison Square Park, organized by the New York Young Republican Club, with attendees chanting "We are all Charlie Kirk Now." In a poignant moment shared on social media, Erika Kirk recounted telling their three-year-old daughter that her father was on a "work trip with Jesus." These statements follow the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 12th, 2025, at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of the killing, and prosecutors in Utah are pursuing the death penalty, according to Utah Governor Spencer Cox. Sources previously indicated that Robinson may have possessed the skill for a long-distance shot from an elevated perch. Federal law enforcement sources had also stated Robinson admitted to his father that he was the individual in photos released by authorities. Discord has confirmed Robinson did not use their platform in connection with the murder plot. Earlier reports noted that Robinson's father's alleged affiliation with the Washington County Sheriff's Office had been officially denied. Kash Patel posted a tribute on X stating, "Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you at Valhalla."
