A Texas State University student was expelled on Tuesday after being caught on video acting out conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination during an on-campus memorial event hosted by a local Turning Point USA chapter.
The video, filmed on the university’s San Marcos campus Monday, appeared to show the male student with a backpack cursing at the crowd, hitting his neck and pretending he was shot.
The man then stood up in front of a statue, said “Hi, my name is Charlie Kirk” and acted out the assassination, falling to the ground, further mocking the death of the 31-year-old father of two.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called for the student’s expulsion in an X post.
“Hey Texas State. This conduct is not accepted at our schools,” Abbott wrote. “Expel this student immediately. Mocking assassination must have consequences.”
Texas State President Kelly Damphousse later confirmed the student in the video was identified.
“I will not tolerate behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses,” Damphousse wrote in a statement. “It is antithetical to our TXST values. The individual is no longer a student at TXST.”
Damphousse added federal law prevents the university from commenting further on individual student conduct matters.

Turning Point USA did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The incident comes just one day after an 18-year-old Texas Tech student was arrested and expelled for allegedly making disturbing comments at a vigil for Kirk.
