# A memorial service for murdered American right-wing activist Charlie Kirk will be held in Arizona on Sunday at a venue which can seat 60-thousand people. Thirty-one-year-old Kirk was shot dead during an open-air speaking event in Utah on Wednesday. His suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, later surrendered to police. Arizona is the headquarters of Kirk’s organisation, Turning Point USA, where the family lived before his death. He was a controversial figure in US political discourse. President Donald Trump announced he will award him a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom.
