Charlie Kirk memorial updates: 'I forgive him,' Erika Kirk says of alleged shooter

During Charlie Kirk's memorial service, FBI Director Kash Patel posted an update on the investigation of Kirk's assassination, saying the FBI is "pursuing every lead."

Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested and charged with Kirk's murder, but Patel said the FBI is looking into the "possibility of accomplices."

"We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was transported, hand gestures observed as potential 'signals' near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter's residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10, 2025," Patel said in a post on X.

"The entire FBI mourns the loss of Charlie Kirk. We will not rest until justice is served, and our investigation into this assassination will continue until every question is answered," Patel said.

Robinson was charged with numerous offenses, including aggravated murder, with prosecutors last week announcing their intent to seek the death penalty.

President Trump is now seated inside State Farm Stadium. The president is sitting in a suite behind bulletproof glass with Eric Trump, White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Many members of Trump's Cabinet are seated in the front row.

Margo Martin, special assistant to the president, posted a photograph to X of Trump watching the service.

Political activist Jack Posobiec, in a powerful speech at Charlie Kirk's memorial, urged Americans to "fight back" after Kirk's death.

"For Charlie, we will continue the mission. We will end the evil disease that split us and took Charlie from us. For Charlie, Turning Point USA will last forever," Posobiec said.

Posobiec said Kirk's death was a "sacrifice" and that he will "live forever" for "all future generations of Americans."

"A century from now when they write of the two pivotal moments that led to the saving of Western civilization, they will write that the sacrifice of Charles James Kirk was the turning point," Posobiec said.

Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna spoke about how Kirk and his movement helped her get to Congress.

"We are all Charlie Kirk now, and his legacy has just begun," Luna said. She compared Kirk to George Washington, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
