A 19-year-old man was arrested Sunday after being accused of vandalizing the memorial improvised in honor of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), outside the organization's headquarters in Phoenix.
The incident occurred in the morning hours when Ryder Corral, the suspect identified by police, stomped and knocked over tribute items, including flowers, vases, balloons and American flags.

Videos captured by Fox News cameras show Corral walking over the memorial and destroying objects, until another young man in a blue T-shirt intervened, forcibly removed him and threw him to the ground. Police officers then arrived, who were already in the area to control traffic due to the large influx of the community following Kirk's murder.
