Erika Kirk is set to meet in person with podcast host Candace Owens on Monday, when Turning Point USA was set to hold a livestream to address conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s assassination that have been pushed by Owens.

“Candace Owens and I are meeting for a private, in-person discussion,” Kirk posted on Sunday, adding that plans for the livestream would be put on hold. “[Owens] and I have agreed that public discussions, livestreams and tweets are on hold until after this meeting. I look forward to a productive conversation. Thank you.”

The shocking announcement came Sunday night after Kirk publicly asked Owens to stop spreading rumors surrounding her husband’s death. Owens quickly reposted the announcement, saying she was “looking forward” to it.

Candace Owens and I are meeting for a private, in-person discussion on Monday, December 15. @RealCandaceO and I have agreed that public discussions, livestreams, and tweets are on hold until after this meeting. I look forward to a productive conversation. Thank you.

“I am very much looking forward to this discussion,” Owens added.

Owens has used her podcast the last three months to analyze Kirk’s murder, pushing bizarre theories and suggesting that TPUSA was covering up the truth. Owens has questioned the FBI’s handling of the investigation, and suggested that foreign agencies from countries including Israel and France were involved. She has recently put the focus on TPUSA itself, which is now under the leadership of Erika Kirk.

Erika Kirk in recent days has pushed back on the claims.

“When you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my Charlie Kirk Show family, when you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this, no,” she told Fox News Wednesday.

Owens took that interview and used it to criticize Erika Kirk more.

“Don’t try to, like, ‘mom’ the organization and say, ‘Well, mother’s upset because people are coming after her kids and all of the multimillion-dollar subsidiaries.”

In a town hall with CBS News on Saturday, Kirk said she is worried the conspiracy theories are going to taint the jury pool for trial of her husband’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, who is charged with aggravated murder and faces the death penalty.

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss asked Kirk directly what she wanted from Owens.

“Stop. That’s it. That’s all I have to say. Stop.”

Owens originally told members of TPUSA she was unavailable to meet in person, Monday, December 15 — she was invited by TPUSA to participate in the livestream to address her accusations of the organization. Owens offered to connect with members of TPUSA virtually, but Blake Neff, the producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, said TPUSA would be proceeding without Owens.

Owens’ schedule appears to have cleared. There’s no word yet on when the details of this private meeting will be made public.

The man identified and detained by law enforcement as a “person of interest” in the Saturday mass shooting at Brown University is a 24-year-old Wisconsin man, according to reports.

Law enforcement tracked the man down at the Hampton Inn in Coventry, Rhode Island, on Sunday. The man had rented a room in the hotel. Law enforcement officers who apprehended the man found two firearms in the room as well: a revolver and a Glock handgun with a laser sight attachment, according to CNN.

On Sunday afternoon, the FBI was spotted around a home owned by the family of the person of interest, according to CNN.

Law enforcement officials are investigating “what might be an extensive mental health history” for the Wisconsin man, NBC News reports. Officials are also investigating a potential link between the man and Brown University.

According to public records, the Wisconsin man’s current residence is an apartment in Washington, D.C. An Army spokeswoman told NBC News that the man served as an infantryman in the Army from May 2021 to November 2024.

Law enforcement and officials have been cautious about giving much information about the “person of interest” in public. A person of interest, to law enforcement, is someone who police believe has information or a connection to a crime. Police have not yet identified the man as a “suspect” in the shooting.

Officials acknowledged the slow release of information in a press conference on Sunday, urging patience as officials continue to investigate the shooting.

“It’s not that we’re hiding anything, it’s just the way we work,” said Providence Police Department Major David Lapatin. “That’s why we haven’t been able to give you much information. But we’re trying to do the best job we can. And some things we have to keep, you know, out of the public light until we’re ready to come out with everything.”

A gunman entered an engineering building at Brown University on Saturday afternoon and killed two students and injured nine others. Law enforcement launched a manhunt immediately after the shooting before picking up the “person of interest” nearly 12 hours later.
