Escalation: Kirk Family Files Claim Against UVU

Charlie Kirk’s estate and heirs filed a notice of claim against Utah Valley University, the UVU Police Department, Police Chief Jeffrey Long, former UVU President Astrid Tuminez, and the state of Utah. The filing names Erika Kirk and her two children, and lists his parents, Robert and Kathryn Kirk, as potential plaintiffs.

The claim says campus officials were warned about risks from rooftops before the event and did not secure them. It adds that promised rooftop coverage was not put in place. It also faults UVU for not monitoring security camera feeds in real time.

Filing the notice preserves the family’s ability to sue the university, its police, and the state over Kirk’s death.
