Charlie Kirk was assassinated on midweek. The 31-year-old was speech production at a Utah Valley University event when Tyler Robinson, 22, fatally shot him. Authorities, including local enforcement officials and the FBI, apprehended the suspect after an hours-long manhunt.
Kirk's remains were flown from Salt Lake City to Phoenix, Arizona, his hometown, with VP JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance accompanying the Turning Point USA founder's widow, Erika.
A public memorial service for Charlie Kirk is scheduled to take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on September 21. President Donald Trump has already announced that he will attend.

Will Charlie Kirk's autopsy be released?
Several social media users are now asking whether an autopsy report will be released. Elon Musk-led xAI's bot Grok on Sunday responded to one query, saying: “Yes, an autopsy was performed on Charlie Kirk after his shooting death on September 10, 2025, as required by Utah law for homicides. The report hasn't been released publicly yet.”
However, officials have not commented on the possibility of an autopsy report yet. HT.com cannot verify Grok's claims.
In high-profile cases like this, the autopsy, conducted by a forensic pathologist, follows a meticulous protocol to ensure accuracy and transparency, often under FBI or state oversight.
The process typically starts within 24 hours of death to minimize tissue degradation, as recommended by the National Association of Medical Examiners. The final report, which is generally out in 4-6 weeks, could classify the death as homicide, detailing the manner and contributing factors.
Tyler James Robinson of Washington, Utah, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder and other felony offenses. Prosecutors are drawing up formal charges that could be filed early next week, when he will make his first court appearance.
Investigators have spoken to Robinson's relatives and carried out a search warrant at his family's home in Washington, about 240 miles (390 kilometers) southwest of Utah Valley University, where the shooting took place.
