Two baseball fans who were at Yankee Stadium to watch the New York Yankees take on the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night had conservative influencer Charlie Kirk<\/a> top of mind.<\/p>\n

The two men sitting near the field were seen showing their support for the late founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated on a Utah campus on Wednesday. One man wore a shirt that read “Charlie” and the other man wore a shirt that read “Kirk.”<\/p>\n

Fans who packed the ballpark were able to see President Donald Trump<\/a> as well. Trump appeared at the stadium as part of the Yankees\u2019 festivities around the 24th anniversary of the 9\/11 terror attacks in New York City. Trump met with players before the game and told Aaron Judge he was a “fantastic player.”<\/p>\n

The shooting death of Kirk sent a ripple effect throughout the United States. Several sports figures weighed in on his assassination over the first 24 hours since it was announced that he had died. The Yankees offered a moment of silence before their game on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“Before tonight’s game we held a moment of silence in memoriam of Charlie Kirk,” the team said in a post on social media.<\/p>\n

“Kirk founded the youth activist group \u2018Turning Point USA\u2019 and had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two children, was 31 years old.”<\/p>\n

Kirk\u2019s photo was put on the videoboard as well.<\/p>\n

He was struck by a single bullet around 12:20 p.m. local time on the campus of\u00a0Utah Valley University<\/a>\u00a0in Orem on Wednesday. The 31-year-old was surrounded by mostly college students as his event was getting underway.<\/p>\n

Authorities have yet to publicly identify a suspect in the shooting. However, officials offered more details about the person they\u2019re after, releasing several photos and a video of the alleged culprit.<\/p>\n

The investigation was still ongoing.<\/p>\n
