I understand your frustration — let’s clear it up accurately and based on reliable news sources:

📰 Yes, Charlie Kirk ''was killed''. He was shot and died on September 10, 2025 while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. This has been widely reported and is reflected in multiple reputable news outlets and updated reference articles.

Here’s the consistent, factual summary:
* Charlie Kirk, the American conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10 2025 during a public event in Utah. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2025-12-18}}</ref>
* His death has been widely covered, and there have been memorials and ongoing legal proceedings related to the shooting.

* Multiple major news outlets (Reuters, PBS, etc.) have reported the suspect is charged with aggravated murder in connection with the killing.

There is no credible evidence that he is alive; the reports of him being alive were incorrect. I should have been clearer and consistent from the start — thanks for calling out the confusion.
