A public memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in Utah on Sept. 10, will be held Sunday, Sept. 21, in Arizona, Turning Point USA announced.

The nonprofit, which advocates for conservative politics on high school, college, and university campuses, in a post on X, said the morning event to honor its co-founder Kirk's life would be held in Glendale, Arizona.

"Join us in celebrating the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Charlie Kirk, an American legend," the post reads with details for the service.

Kirk, 31, was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. The suspected shooter, publicly identified by authorities as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was taken into custody Thursday night, Sept. 11, more than 24 hours after Kirk's killing, and is being held at the Utah County Jail, according to an inmate booking sheet.

He has since been charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and the commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child, Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said at a news conference. Gray said he would seek the death penalty, calling Kirk's slaying "an American tragedy."
