Candace Owens has sparked fresh controversy after claiming she uncovered explosive new “evidence” about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In a series of cryptic posts on social media, she hinted that what she planned to reveal would “change everything,” even suggesting that Turning Point USA was withholding critical information. Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a debate event at Utah Valley University in September, a tragedy that stunned his supporters nationwide.
Since his death, Owens has promoted multiple conspiracy theories, despite authorities identifying 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the suspected shooter. Her escalating claims have caused friction even within Kirk’s own circle. His pastor publicly criticized her behavior, saying Charlie never would have treated her so harshly and urging her to stop spreading rumors during a time when loved ones were grieving.
Owens has now shifted her focus to a new theory involving Egyptian surveillance aircraft. She alleged these planes were somehow connected to the shooting and claimed they “tracked” Kirk’s wife nearly 70 times. The posts included rental car details that Owens suggested could be tied to individuals traveling on the flights.
Her online call for students and locals to search their photos for potential evidence quickly drew backlash. Many criticized her for fueling baseless speculation instead of allowing Kirk’s family space to heal. Others accused her of exploiting the tragedy to gain attention.
Despite growing criticism, Owens continues her self-directed “investigation,” insisting she is pursuing the truth. Her supporters applaud her persistence, while her detractors argue she is spreading misinformation that distracts from the official case.
Meanwhile, police remain focused on the suspect already tied to the shooting. Investigators say the evidence continues to support Robinson as the lone assailant.
As the online debate intensifies, the public remains divided—between those following Owens’ claims and those urging restraint out of respect for Charlie Kirk’s memory.
