() Erika Kirk has vowed to never let her husband Charlie Kirk’s legacy fade in her first public remarks since he was shot and killed.

She encouraged his supporters to either join or establish local chapters of Turning Point USA, keep the campus tours and broadcasts active, and to locate a church that adheres to biblical teachings.

“Our campus tour this fall will go on, and in the coming years, there will be even more,” stated Erika Kirk. “I intend to make Turning Point USA the biggest phenomenon this country has ever witnessed.”

Tyler Robinson, who is suspected of killing Charlie Kirk, was apprehended after a 33-hour search, aided by a tip from his family and messages found on Discord, according to police.

Robinson, 22, allegedly fired a single shot at Kirk from a rooftop 200 yards away while Kirk was speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

He was taken into custody in Utah late Thursday night after a family member reached out to a friend of the family, indicating that Robinson had confessed or hinted at being involved in the shooting, said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox.

Officers spoke with Robinson’s roommate, who presented Discord messages where Robinson talked about needing to pick up a rifle from a drop point, placing the rifle in a bush, and inscribing bullets. The messages also referred to a scope and indicated the rifle was distinctive, as per his arrest affidavit.

President Donald Trump was the first to announce that a suspect was in custody and said someone close to the accused killer turned him in.
