  "account": "A wrongful death notice was filed by Charlie Kirk's family after he was fatally shot at an event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. This notice, usually a precursor to a lawsuit, alleged several security lapses and was sent on September 9 to UVU and the State of Utah. Now, podcaster Candace Owens has revealed surprising information about Erika Kirk, Charlie's wife and CEO of TPUSA. Owens claims that it was Charlie Kirk's parents who pushed for the wrongful death lawsuit, stating that the family wanted justice for their son and approached Erika to support it. She also asserts that TPUSA had no role in the lawsuit and that UVU had been advised against the event but insisted on proceeding. Owens emphasizes that UVU took no safety measures, such as conducting a proper risk assessment, establishing a secure perimeter, or having first responders immediately available, which she argues resulted in Charlie Kirk's fatal injury. Tyler Robinson, who was arrested and charged with Kirk's murder, is set to face trial.",
