BREAKING: Murder Charge Filed Against Suspect in Assassination of Charlie Kirk
September 17, 2025 – Washington, D.C.
Prosecutors filed a formal murder charge Tuesday against the man accused of assassinating conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Authorities revealed damning evidence, including what they say is a text message confession sent by the suspect to his romantic partner just minutes after the incident.
The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Julian Mercer, was apprehended last week following a multi-agency manhunt. Investigators allege Mercer shot Kirk outside a speaking engagement in Denver on September 10th.
According to court documents, Mercer texted his partner immediately after the event: “It’s done. I got him. No more Kirk.” Prosecutors say the message, combined with surveillance footage and ballistic analysis, forms a “compelling and complete narrative” of premeditated murder.
District Attorney Laura Peña stated during a press conference Tuesday morning: “This was not an impulsive act. This was a calculated, politically motivated assassination. The evidence speaks for itself.”
Though Mercer has not yet entered a plea, his defense attorney signaled an intention to pursue an insanity defense, citing unspecified mental health issues.
Conspiracy theories have already begun to swirl online, with some claiming the assassination was staged or part of a larger political plot. Social media platforms are struggling to contain the wildfire of misinformation.
Kirk’s supporters held a candlelight vigil outside the Capitol on Monday night, vowing to continue his work and calling for unity in the conservative movement.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Minnesota barred the Trump administration from destroying or altering evidence in the shooting death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, killed by a Border Patrol agent during an immigration enforcement operation on Saturday. The lawsuit, filed by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, names DHS, ICE, CBP, U.S. Border Control, and Attorney General Pam Bondi as defendants. Pretti allegedly approached agents armed with a 9 mm pistol and resisted disarmament. Judge Eric Tostrud’s injunction preserves evidence, with a hearing Monday. County Attorney Mary Moriarty pledged a thorough, state-level investigation for accountability.
