An 18-year-old student at Texas Tech, Camryn Giselle Booker, has been arrested and expelled following her disruptive behavior at a memorial vigil for Charlie Kirk, according to Fox News reports. A disturbing video captured Booker jumping around and shouting offensive remarks at mourners, including "F-k y'all homie dead, he got shot in the head."
The footage showing her inappropriate reaction to Kirk's assassination was posted on X (previously known as Twitter) by user Vince Langman and has accumulated more than 8.6 million views.

According to The New York Post, when a man at the scene called Booker "Evil," saying "Evil is real, people - and it kind of looks like that," and questioned her hateful behavior, she confronted him directly. When someone off-camera suggested she was being too emotional, Booker responded, "I'm not being emotional, ma'am. Don't tell me what I am and what I'm not. You could get out of my face 'cause I can tell you what you are, but you won't like it."
When questioned about her aggressive demeanor, Booker replied, "I'm not being aggressive. My voice is very calm. You're calling me aggressive because I'm a black woman."
The Texas Tech Police Department issued a statement saying, "The Texas Tech Police Department arrested a student for simple assault, which occurred on the west side of the Student Union Building (free speech area). The student was transported to the Lubbock County Jail."
Reports indicate that Booker faces multiple charges including battery, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assault. Texas Governor Greg Abbott praised law enforcement's response, sharing an image of Booker in handcuffs on social media.
"This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination at Texas Tech," Abbott wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

According to media reports, Booker is no longer enrolled at the university. Texas Tech University released a statement saying, "Any behavior that denigrates victims of violence is reprehensible, has no place on our campus, and is not aligned with our values."
"Federal law prevents Texas Tech University from commenting on individual student conduct matters. We take all reported violations seriously and address them under university policy and the law."
Charlie Kirk's Death
Kirk was fatally shot at Utah Valley University, causing widespread outrage. Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating the right-wing political activist, was arrested Thursday night after family members and a family friend alerted authorities about his self-incrimination. The arrest came following a 33-hour manhunt for the lone suspect in Wednesday's killing.
