Authorities are still looking for the person responsible. Here is how the combat sports world reacted. 

Reaction

"Yeah man, it’s f**ked up. I’m just numb to seeing people die online. The entire world watched a Ukrainian girl get murdered. Every day, someone is getting murdered live-streamed. We see Russians merked by drones. Just numb to tragedy in 2025. Welcome to the internet. The erosion of humanity, one reel at a time,” Strickland said

"Heart goes out to Charlie Kirk’s wife and kids. Love to his family. RIP Charlie. So sad," Joseph Parker stated 

"I’m so upset about Charlie Kirk’s passing, I can’t really go to sleep right now… I also know that Charlie Kirk was an extremely brave Christian… and let me tell you something about 9/11. Ain’t no Muslims did 9/11, 9/11 was done by Israel… All of y’all can go to hell… the nation of Israel hates Jesus Christ… I love Muslims, you’re never gonna fool me. Muslims love Jesus Christ… and if I didn’t say that I’d be a coward, and people like Charlie Kirk would die for nothing," Bryce Hall stated
