On Thursday, Sept. 11, a crowd of about 150 people gathered in Plaza of the Americas to honor the life of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on Wednesday at Utah Valley University.

The vigil was hosted by Turning Point UF, a chapter of the main organization Turning Point USA, which Kirk was the CEO and co-founder of.
