Charlie Kirk, the architect of Turning Point USA, a political powerhouse that combined influencing, fundraising and grassroots organizing for a new generation of conservatives, is dead.

Kirk, 31, was killed by a sniper's bullet at a political event in Orem, Utah, on Sept. 10. He was shot on the campus of Utah Valley University, one of many colleges where he had spent time working to bring young people into the conservative fold.
