Conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at a speaking event in Utah on Wednesday. His widow, Erika, spoke out for the first time Friday evening. Students with the chapter of Turning Point USA at the University of Maryland also held a vigil Friday night.

Kirk was the CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization. He was fatally shot on Wednesday at a college campus event in Utah for one of his popular "Prove Me Wrong" debates. He was 31 years old.

The future of Turning Point USA is unclear after its founder and front man was killed at a political event. Its other leaders say they will carry on.

Kirk, who was the co-founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, was able to set up his family — wife, Erika, and two young children — to be financially stable before his death with an estimated net worth of $12 million, according to ValueWalk.
