Police later identified Tyler Robinson as Kirk\u2019s alleged shooter on Friday, September 12. He is currently being held in police custody and without bail at Utah County Jail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">On Tuesday, September 16, prosecutors formally charged Robinson with seven counts in connection with Kirk\u2019s death, announcing that they will seek the death penalty in the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Charlie is survived by his wife, <strong>Erika Kirk<\/strong>, and their two children, as son and a daughter. Erika, 36, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/charlie-kirks-wife-erika-kirk-breaks-silence-after-his-death\/\">broke her silence<\/a> on her husband\u2019s death on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cCharlie loved his children and he loved me with all of his heart and I knew that every day. He made sure I knew that every day,\u201d she said during a livestream on Charlie\u2019s X account. \u201cEvery day he would ask me, \u2018How can I serve you better? How can I be a better husband? How can I be a better father?\u2019 \u2026 He was a such a good man. He still is such a good man. He was the perfect father. He was the perfect husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">She later shared a video of herself crying <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/charlie-kirks-wife-erika-shares-emotional-tribute-after-his-death-will-never-have-the-words\/\">by his open casket<\/a> via Instagram. \u201cThe world is evil. But our Savior. Our Lord. Our God. \u041d\u0435 is so good. I will never have the words. Ever,\u201d she wrote on Friday. \u201cThe sound of this widow weeping echoes throughout this world like a battle cry. I have no idea what any of this means. But baby, I know you do and so does our Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">A memorial for the commentator is also being planned. \u201cBuilding a Legacy, Remembering Charlie Kirk\u201d will be held on Sunday, September 21, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The venue, home of the NFL\u2019s Arizona Cardinals, can hold as many as 73,000 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Seyfried is far from the first celebrity to speak out about Kirk\u2019s death. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/jamie-lee-curtis-cries-over-charlie-kirks-death-man-of-faith\/\"><strong>Jamie Lee Curtis<\/strong> said<\/a> during the Monday episode of <strong>Marc Maron\u2019s<\/strong> \u201cWTF\u201d podcast that she was mourning the loss despite disagreeing with \u201calmost every point I ever heard him say.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died that he felt connected to his faith,\u201d Curtis, 66, said while holding back tears. \u201cEven though I find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he\u2019s a father and a husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever \u2018connection to God\u2019 means, that he felt it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><strong>Michael Keaton<\/strong>, meanwhile, echoed a similar sentiment during the Investigative Reporters and Editors\u2019 50th anniversary gala on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cBefore we start to get into the meat of this thing, I\u2019m going to take a minute to say that, regardless of how I probably \u2014 not probably \u2014 have disagreed with many things he said, Charlie Kirk leaves behind two kids and a wife,\u201d Keaton, 74, said at the top of his speech, per <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/news\/michael-keaton-irony-that-charlie-kirk-killed-shooting-1236519998\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Variety<\/em><\/a>. \u201cYou gotta remember that.
