A man was seen vandalizing a memorial honoring Charlie Kirk on Sunday – just outside of Turning Point USA’s headquarters in Phoenix.
The man, who was wearing a black t-shirt with an American flag, was taken away by police in handcuffs. His t-shirt appeared similar to the one that suspect Tyler Robinson wore at the Sept. 10 event where Charlie Kirk was shot.
Witnesses saw the suspect kicking over items including flowers, vases and flags. He traveled about 15 yards through the memorial before onlookers pulled him away, throwing him to the ground. Authorities quickly escorted him away from the area.
In a statement, Phoenix PD identified him as 19-year-old Ryder Corral.
“Corral will be booked on multiple charges to include criminal damage and disorderly conduct,” police said. “An updated media advisory will be sent out once Corral is booked and a booking number is available.”
