LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- Dozens gathered for a candlelight vigil in Las Vegas to honor political activist Charlie Kirk, one day after he was assassinated.

"This world is missing," Nevada Republican Club President Pauline Lee said. "It has missed a huge light."

Lee was among many of Kirk's local supporters who shared their shock and sadness over Kirk's killing. Several people told 8 News Now they were grateful for the chance to mourn his loss.

"When I heard about it, I was kind of in a zombie state," supporter Jerry Guzman said. "I couldn't believe it happened."

The conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder died Wednesday after he was shot at an event at Utah Valley University.

As of Thursday, federal investigators were still searching for the person responsible.
