Video posted on X by Julio M. Hernandez on September 15, 2025, captures a large vigil at the University of Texas at San Antonio in memory of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist assassinated on September 13, 2025, in Arizona.

The event took place at Sombrilla Plaza near the John Peace Library and was organized by UTSA’s Turning Point USA chapter. Hundreds attended, far surpassing the 250 expected, highlighting the widespread impact of Kirk’s death.

This vigil is part of a series of memorials following the assassination, which has sparked broad political reactions, including calls for violence from far-right figures such as Laura Loomer.

Kirk’s killing comes amid a rising trend of political violence in the U.S., with several high-profile incidents in 2024 and 2025.

The public gathering at UTSA offered a space for communal mourning and reflection, contrasting with the private circumstances of Kirk’s assassination.
