The College Republicans at the University of Pittsburgh will hold a vigil today in remembrance of Charlie Kirk.

The vigil is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at the William Pitt Union patio along Forbes Avenue.

Kirk, a conservative activist, was CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA. He was shot in the neck and killed during a free-speech debate.

The College Republicans announced the vigil Thursday on its Instagram page @cr.pitt.

“Please join us in prayer,” the post reads.

On Thursday morning, the Carnegie Mellon University College Republicans painted The Fence overnight in tribute to Kirk.
