Candlelight vigil for Charlie Kirk to be held in Belvidere Sunday

BELVIDERE, Ill. (WTVO) — Representatives from Turning Point USA are scheduled to speak at a candlelight vigil in Belvidere, in honor of slain conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, on Sunday.

The Boone County Republican Central Committee and activist group Rockford Family Initiative said the vigil, held by the Turning Point USA chapter of Belvidere North would take place Sunday, September 14th, at 6 p.m., in Aberdeen Park, 1417 Orth Road.

“Please join a prayer vigil being held this Sunday evening (September 14) to pray for and honor Charlie Kirk and his family, and to pray for our country,” organizers wrote.

Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on Wednesday during a speaking event at Utah Valley University.

He was the founder of Turning Point USA, a movement that mobilized students to vote. The organization has chapters on more than 850 college campuses.

A 22-year-old Utah man, Tyler Robinson, has been arrested as the suspect in Kirk’s murder. Authorities have yet to reveal a motive.
