Did Charlie Kirk die? His condition after being shot in the neck at the University of Utah.

A video of the exact moment conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot during a university event in Utah went viral on social media.

During the video, Charlie Kirk is seen sitting with the microphone, surrounded by a crowd of students. As he finished speaking, a bullet pierced his neck, causing blood to spurt immediately.

US President Donald Trump confirmed Charlie Kirk's death on social media. He was previously transferred to a hospital where he remained in critical condition and received a blood transfusion, as reported by the account @glennbeck.

“The great, and even legendary, Charlie Kirk has passed away . No one understood or embraced the heart of America’s youth better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by all, especially me,” Donald Trump wrote on social media, confirming the activist’s death.

Meanwhile, in another video already shared on social media, authorities are seen holding a suspect in custody and handcuffed. He is an adult male wearing shorts and a blue sweater. According to initial reports, the man in custody is named Michael Mallinson, and it is not yet certain whether he is the killer.

Charlie Kirk, born on October 14, 1993, in Arlington Heights, Illinois, was an American conservative activist and commentator. In 2012, he founded Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting Republicanism among young people. Kirk is its executive director.

He hosted The Charlie Kirk Show , one of the most listened-to political podcasts in the country, and is the author of several books on politics and education. A figure close to Donald Trump, he has been criticized for his organization's funding and internal management, which has been accused of lacking transparency.
