One gunshot on a university campus. A prominent political activist killed in front of thousands. A nationwide manhunt. And a murder investigation that sent shockwaves through Donald Trump's America. On 10 September 2025, Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA and one of President Donald Trump's most influential political allies, was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University. What followed was more than a murder investigation. Kirk's assassination ignited a national debate about political violence, free speech, extremism and the increasingly bitter divisions within American politics. In this six-chapter True Crime Now investigation, journalist Erica Voss examines Kirk's rise to political prominence, his close relationship with Donald Trump, the events surrounding the fatal shooting and the extraordinary manhunt that followed. We also explore the arrest of Tyler Robinson, the evidence presented by prosecutors, the alleged motive and the legal battle ahead. Robinson has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted. Who was responsible for Charlie Kirk's assassination? What does the evidence reveal about the accused killer? And how did one gunshot shake the foundations of American politics? Join us as we separate established facts from speculation in one of America's most closely watched criminal cases.
