A deranged leftist wearing an identical shirt to accused killer Tyler Robinson when he allegedly assassinated prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk has been arrested for desecrating a memorial to Kirk in downtown Phoenix.
The suspect, identified by authorities as Ryder Corral, 19, was tackled by bystanders after he allegedly walked through a memorial in downtown Phoenix and proceeded to kick over flowers, vases and balloons that were set up to honor Kirk’s memory. The ending of the incident was captured on video, which shows multiple bystanders grabbing the suspect and wrestling him to the ground.
Witnesses said the suspect managed to walk through at least fifteen yards of the tribute area before he was stopped. He was then placed under arrest by a nearby police officer.
Phoenix Police later confirmed that Corral will be facing multiple charges in connection with the disturbance, including criminal damage and disorderly conduct. “Corral will be booked on multiple charges to include criminal damage and disorderly conduct,” the department said in a statement.
Footage from the scene appears to indicate that Corral was wearing a black shirt with an eagle logo atop an American flag. This appears to be the exact shirt worn by Robinson when he allegedly murdered Kirk, according to photos released by the FBI.

Police have not released any details about a potential link between Corral and Robinson, though the FBI is currently investigating multiple left-wing groups in Utah to determine whether they had any advanced knowledge of the killing or assisted Robinson after the fact.
One of the groups in question deleted their social media presence in the hours following the shooting.
The incident follows a disturbing outpouring of support for the Kirk murder from the political left. Hundreds of deranged leftists have been documented issuing celebratory social media statements and social media posts in response to the killing, while others have insinuated that Kirk deserved it.
Social media users like the owner of the Aesthetica account on X and others have documented the disturbing incidents, while one activist group has created a searchable database that lists over 50,000 instances of leftists celebrating the murder. The database, “Expose Charlies Mvrderers,” is expected to go live in the coming days.
