Authorities are investigating a Thursday incident from a University of Missouri Turning Point USA event where a guest said more figures like Charlie Kirk should be killed.
TPUSA’s UM chapter demanded that the school “take swift, decisive action” after the guest showed up to debate a TPUSA speaker on the Columbia campus while wearing a Kirk-themed shirt covered in fake blood. Footage shows the individual, whom TPUSA called a student, agreeing during dialogue that some people should be killed over protected speech.
UM said later that day that the provocateur was not a student there and was “trespassed” from the campus. “This serious matter has been referred to MUPD (University of Missouri Police Department), Columbia Police Department and the FBI for further investigation,” the school said on X.
“We were notified after the event,” a spokesperson for the Columbia Police Department told the Washington Examiner on Friday. “We remain in contact with MUPD for any [assistance] needed. They are actively investigating the incident.”
“The FBI has been made aware of the incident and is in communication with the University but has no further comment at this time,” the bureau’s Kansas City office told the Washington Examiner.
The speaker wore a copy of the white “FREEDOM” T-shirt that Kirk did when he was fatally shot at an event in Orem, Utah, on Sept. 10, 2025.
“You are for people being killed for freedom of speech?” a TPUSA speaker asked the subject on video.
“Yeah, absolutely,” the person said.

He faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted of the most serious charges. The killing, which Utah prosecutors call politically motivated, prompted national outrage and promises from the Trump administration to quash political violence.
“We believe statements advocating violence should be taken seriously and reviewed by the University under its applicable policies and standards of conduct,” the MU TPUSA chapter said about the Thursday incident. “We pray his heart can be healed.”
