Phoenix Police Arrest Man Destroying Charlie Kirk Memorial

A man identified as 19-year-old Ryder Corral was arrested at Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix for destroying a memorial dedicated to conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated last week while speaking at a university in Utah. The incident was captured on video, showing Corral trampling on flowers and tributes before being subdued by another man and then apprehended by police. Witnesses detained Corral until officers arrived, and he faces multiple charges, including criminal damage and disorderly conduct. Mourners have been gathering at the site since Kirk's assassination, reflecting the divided public response to the controversial commentator's death. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested and charged with aggravated murder in connection to the assassination. Authorities plan to formally charge Robinson soon, while Corral will be booked following his arrest for damaging the memorial.
