Charlie Kirk’s family has accused Utah officials of failing to prevent the conservative activist’s assassination, taking the first step toward a potential wrongful death lawsuit over alleged security failures at Utah Valley University.
Attorneys for Kirk’s family said his death was the result of a series of “reckless decisions” that left the 31-year-old exposed to a rooftop sniper during an outdoor event at the university in Orem on Sept. 10, 2025.
